Umm.. Something might just be lose? It is not hard to remove your dash. A few 10mm bolts here and there, and your good to go. (not to mention the steering wheel and the wire connectors)

You have got to be the first person i have even heard say the dash isnt a bitch to remove. Some of the bolts are very difficult to get to.

actually no it's not. the hardest part is probably dropping the steering column. there are only 6 bolts that hold the dash in.

as for your noise. sometimes leaves get caught inside there and just need to be cleaned out. you do have to remove the dash to do so. if you are skeptical about how hard or long it will take to remove, then just save it for the weekend.

so i took apart the ac under the dash and the rattle is comming from the blower. it only does it while installed when i remove it the blower spins like a champ withotu a kink. and it doesnt look like anything is inside there. mysterious noise chasing.

If it is the part under the glovebox, you should just be able to remove the glovebox and the support that the glovebox mounts to in order to gain access to that part.

Any play in the fan motor shaft? You might be blowing things higher up in the ventalation system around too.
