Weird rattling noise unable to pin point

[sunnydhama]

I have a weird rattle coming from front passenger side.
Maybe around glove box, dash or air vents, pretty annoying, took it to dealer with no luck.
any pointers?

I remember there was somebody talking about rattles from that direction. Don't remember which of the 20 rattle topics but it is a known location.

I had a similar rattle that baffled me until I started clipping the passenger seatbelt when the seat is empty. Has not returned since

Ditto!!! I also have one from that general area and it’s more hit and miss for me but still irritating nonetheless.

I have a rattle like that on my driver side dash. I barely notice it anymore after I installed an H-Pipe and keep my exhaust on track mode. Music helps too. My last mustang(2012 gt) had all sorts of rattles. Figure its par for the course with Fords.

Tried finding a thread, but couldn’t

I've got one coming from under the L/S dash below the lighting console and one around the L/S headliner along the door seal, driving me crazy. I've taken things apart because I know the dealer won't be of any help and still can't find it. Seems to be more apparent when the weather is cool but disappears as the temp gets warmer.

#Metoo
This is like the ... IDK, 15th car I’ve had with a mysterious rattle. IIRC, someone said the front of the center screen area might be the culprit, but that is not for attribution, as I’m not even half way into my first cup of coffee.

I’m not wasting dealer time on this, I’ve been down that road on at least 3 other vehicles and never once found any resolution.

Rattles and buzzes are the bane of my life.
MX5, gave up. Too many to find in a lifetime.
Toyota GT86, finally found a dash rattle behind the stereo head unit after 2 years of looking. That left all the other buzzes, gear whine, etc, etc.
Cupra Leon, Dealer lubed the sunroof tracks and all was good.
Cupra Ateca, a strange buzz at highway speeds turned out to be the downshift paddle.
Skoda Kamiq, another buzz that was the release button on the handbrake.
The Mustang has nothing...........so far.
My decades long prejudice against Ford (UK) was all for nothing.
Mind you, this thing is so much fun to own, I'd forgive it a lot.

My previous F-150 had a similar noise that used to drive me crazy. I checked everything under the sun on the right side because I swore that's where it was emanating from. One day while driving the noise got it my head and was driving me crazy. This was well after I had given up solving the issue. I reached up while driving and put my hand on the overhead sunglass cubby and the noise immediately stopped. Opening and shutting it when it would occasionally return would stop the noise.

Not saying this is your problem but it could be. The biggest takeaway from my experience was don't trust your ears. Interior rattles and buzzes are just as hard to pinpoint as exterior.

The marked product and the three pins that hold the display make a sound. It can be solved with sound absorption.

Words can be strange because I use a translator.

You don’t happen to have a garage door opener clipped to the sunvisor do you? I had a rattle and took me a little while to realize it was actually the garage door opener buttons rattling. Have the same openers in my other cars and never noticed it.
