New Rattles

I'm hearing a series of rattles when the interior is heated up. Seems to be coming from left heat vent when driving over bumps. Could also be from under steering column. Any ideas?

I just took my car to the dealership for the same thing. The mechanic said it was the clips located in the A-Pillar. He did something to the A-Pillar, and the noise has definitely lessened but was not eliminated unfortunately.

So, what kind of rattle/noise are you guys talking about? How did it sound like?

Thanks.

Its hard to describe what it sounded like, but it was very loud. It was defintely coming from the left vent/tweeter area. But now in my case it was almost completely eliminated, so I'm pretty happy. I had all my rattles fixed and the Comptech bar installed and my car feels like a completely different car.

Thanks.
sounded like a bunch of hard plastic pieces hitting each other when driving over a stretch of choppy pavement. Could be the black plastic inlay that covers the clear plastic guage cluster cover. Could also be the left vent assembly.
