In the quest to rid my X5 of rattles I have posted another rattle/popping that is coming from the dash. The sound comes from either side of the dash around where the defroster blows air out.

Under the following conditions in the winter it is pretty bad for about the first 5 minutes of driving:

1.) Cold Mornings or Nights (35-50 Degrees).
2.) Pops/Rattles even more when the Defroster/Heater is on.
3.) Bumps/Moving car side to side quickly will make it happen more frequently

Here is a link to the video

In the summer it does not make this noise at all and in the winter after 5 minutes of driving the noise is gone. Also, turning on the defroster/heater makes the problem much worse.

Does anyone else have this problem? If so, did you get it fixed and what was the fix?

Someone PM'd me that is out of the USA that said they had the same or similar problem and it was mostly fixed by replacing "airtubes" in the dash.
