Angry My Steering wheel area is rattling....

Apart from the VDC screw that could be loose, do you guys have this problem or know what else could cause the rattling? Thanks!

I thought my steering wheel area was rattling as well till I placed my hand on the dash just in front of the gauge pod. Rattle disappeared.
I took the car in and complained about the rattle and the service guy knew right away what the problem was: wiring harness under the dash not properly attached. Well, maybe so and he said it was fixed, but every so often the rattle returns. I think because the dash is made up of several pieces rather than just one, the pieces rub together and create the rattle (or is it really a "buzz?").
Someone on one of the forums mentioned poking some weather stripping, or something, in between the cracks of the dash to get rid of the sound. I haven't tried that yet...but I might if the sound returns again.

so I'm not the only one...
I took it in and the service guy already order a replacement cable for the steering. That reminds me, need to call back to see if the parts came in.
