Weird rattling sound under/behind the dash?

[Kris@modmynav]

Hello,

I've noticed rattling sound under/behind the front upper dash (seems like behind of air vent) today,
it doesn't rattle all the time but once I hit bump or rough surface road, it comes up.
I couldn't locate where it comes from, so I checked glove box, behind of Nav unit and cluster box to see if there is any loosen wires or something,
but nothing worked, nothing was loosen.
basically it starts when I my LEFT FRONT WHEEL hits bump or rough surface first.
does someone have any idea?

Thank you for your help

I had the exact same issue years ago when I first picked up my 02 4.6is. Seems the dashboard needed a few rubber grommets. After the dealer put those in, the rattle went away. Everything was fixed under warranty.

Thanks for reply, do you remember what the problem found from dealer or what should I ask them to find out my problem?
I just want to point the problem to them to fix it beside hearing 'we checked, but seems normal'

Sorry, this was back in late 2002 so my memory is a bit fuzzy. It did take take a second visit to the stealer with me driving to bring up the issue. I did have the "can't replicate" response initially. Mine too made a "click click" sound near the upper left side of the dashboard when the left front wheel hit a large bump. All I really remember is they took off the top portion of the dash and push in some rubber grommets.

No prob. I'll see if I can dig up the paperwork from the visit.

Your X5 looks amazing. Love the mods.
