Has anyone else experienced a rattling noise behind the radio? If so, do you know what was done to remedy it?

I have a rattle or some kind of noise in that area, when going over bumps or highway joints. Only shows up after it sits in the sun and warms up. On a cool morning it doesnt make noise. Sounds like two peices of plastic rubbing together. Is yours like that?

Took it to dealer, had them hear it, waiting on scheduling a new appointment to see if they can fix.

I had a blowing sound when the AC was running, they had to replace the whole vent system. Doesn't sound like its the same thing, but you never know.

While driving on a rough patch of road today the rattling noise became very annoying. My wife and I went on a mission, by trial and error to locate the source. It turned out that the noise was actually coming from the eyeglass compartment door. I know I'd previously reported that I thought the noise was coming from the area of the radio but there's no question now that the eyeglass compartment door is the culprit. Applying a little pressure to the door eliminated the noise.
