I have a '98 SE with a Duratec and 5-speed transmission, and I have this irritating rattle somewhere on the passenger side of the dash. I checked the glovebox (even resorting to removing it), tightened the amp screws, checked the CD deck, and in general made sure nothing was loose that I could see. Nothing was. But still the noise persists. That corner of the dash pad is warped (the corner is lifted an inch), but I don't think it's the cause. Does anyone have any insight on this noise?
