I've developed a nasty rattle as stated near the pass side 'A' pillar.

Anyone else have it? Cure?

And Yes Huffer, I searched.

Check the seat belt.

Is the rattle coming from INSIDE the A pillar? Or just near it? Is it coming on idle, or while under normal driving?

There is a lot of plastic trim and wires in and around the A pillar area, also the wire harnesses for the mirrors, speakers and door switches is right by there.

It seems to be coming from the lower A pillar, maybe under the dash.

I emptied the glove box, no luck. What I'm going to do is have my wife drive, and see if I can localize the rattle.
It's a nasty road induced rattle. Happens any time the road is less than smooth. Like constantly with the roads We have up here.

She's to busy baking stuff for Thanksgiving to help Me.

Priorities, Man Hers are waaaay different than mine!


Oh well, fresh pumpkin pie for desert tonight.

Found it.

The car included the Cold Weather Package. The P.O. had the windshield replaced. They opted out of the heated windshield, so the connector was rattling under the cowl panel.
