My Vibe has just turned 39k and a rattle started almost over night. It seems to come from behind the instrument cluster or just the left of it. It sounds like a loose piece of metal or two pieces of metal vibrating against each other. I took the cluster out, the center trim and left trim off and then drove the car looking for the culprit, but so far nothing. Any ideas would be great appreciated.Thanks!

i dont know about one on the left there but it is fairly common to have one on the passenger side and is caused by the 2 ac vent pipes which are made of plasticcheck out the how to thread on removing the dash, you may be able to find some ideas from there, check step 8

Well this takes the cake. I removed most of the dash a week or so ago while still chasing the noise. No luck. Finally, I ran out of time and had to put it back together.This weekend I was searching for a pair of sunglasses under the front seat and found a quarter resting on the module mounting bracket. I removed the quarter and the sound is now gone!! I could not believe all that work wasted. HA! Oh well, at least no more rattle!Thanks for the information!
