Default Rattling from Center Dash Solved

There has been a rattling sound coming from my center dash around the radio and display for the past few months once the car hits 40 mph. It's been driving me nuts. I finally found the culprit today. My driver side windshield wiper insert had slipped out of the groove slightly. Once it was placed back on the track, the rattling disappeared. I hope this helps someone else.

So I'm a little confused....so it had nothing to do with the console? It just sounded like it was coming from there?

Windshield Wiper insert. I was in a rush when I typed up the original thread.
