2014 sport. I have an annoying rattle near my glove box area. I've tried to find it for about a week now. No luck. Even removed everything from upper and lower glove box with no success. It's driving me crazy. Sounds kind of like plastic. Definitely not a metal on metal rattle. Rattles over certain bumps, but not all the time.


Anyone have any suggestions?

Could be a loose air mixing door for the vents

Check the firewall for any loose connectors/wiring. Had my ram in for the same issue (moreless) but same area.

Searched around a little more this morning. Removed kick panel and found a large wire harness connector not attached to the body like it should be. Attached it and I'll go for a drive later to see if that was the noise.

Windshield is still original

I have a rattle that likes to act up on hot days. Sounds like its coming from the front left corner speaker grill. It is not, its coming from the headliner over the driver. A little fussing with the sunshade and its goes away for about a week.

I had to pull the overhead console on mine. When I took it apart it was the module box for the garage door openers. The circuit board inside was loose and I put in a small piece of food...no more rattle.
It took about 3 months to find the dammm thing. Ha

Well the wiring harness was not it. Still on the search for the cause.
