This sucks, it rattles on every tinny bump. Passenger side, right above the glove box towards windshield. there seems to be extra space between windshield and the dash itself. Do dealers generally have a fix for this? How did you fix your rattle.
this car is a rattle box....

try a piece of foam, of just bring it to the dealership and see what they say.

I had the same problem. Took it into the dealer (Inskip Acura in RI). They lubricated the door seals.

No shit. I'm not kidding. That's what the service adviser told me. When I asked wtf lubricated meant, she couldn't explain (can't say I blame her).

When I took a look at my car, the door seals had been wiped down with something (glycerine probably).

BTW: glycerine is used by some old school car owners to keep the rubber seals on old cars stay flexiable. If you look at most good rubber care products they'll contain... glycerine.

EDIT: The car doesn't have the "dashboard" rattle anymore. I do have one in the console area , but I'm trying to figure out exactly where it's coming from (probably my cd's in the console).

How is the door rubber seals have anything to do with the dash rattle above the glove box?

GreenMonster

Because I swore it was a dash rattleon my CLS before they worked on the doorseals. My rattle was coming from the same area as yours, and now it's gone.

Sometimes things aren't what they appear. Just trying to share what fixed my "dash rattles". Sometimes you have to think "outside the box"
