It is coming from the gauges around the speedometer and odometer. Any ideas? I also have one inside the passenger door. When I grab the handle it stops. Sometimes it'll come back but as long as I pull on the handle in that area a few times it disappears. Jason

I looked around and found that the trim panel wasn't fully clipped into place. I gave it a little hit with my fist and that popped it into place properly.

I haven't come up with a more permanent fix - Anyone with an idea, or actually fix it. Right now, I just do like Dusten and turn up the stereo.

The Saint Christopher's Medal and Crucifix in the coin tray rattle against the little bumpy bits and each other. The tire gauge I have in the center console rattles.
