Did anyone go in for service for the rattle in the dash? If so was there any fix?

so the dealer called today and said they fixed the rattling in the dash. they also added more padding he said... and im not really a race enthusiast...so it doesnt really matter to me, as long as its quieter inside and what not. I'm going to pick it up this afternoon...

will definitely update as to how the repairs went once i pick it up.

ok....so turns out the tracks on the moonroof were loose and that was causing the rattling. and the rattling I thought was coming from the seatbelt anchor on the driver's side, was actually coming from the left side dash. Thats completely fixed and the ride is a lot quieter...

It took them about 5 days to fix... so make sure you request a loaner if you can!!!

Did you notice anything different inside the car, like things not lining up the same etc.?

nope... it actually looks better than before I brought it in... I was afraid things might be not lining up since the whole dash is one piece and has lots of curves and what not.

So they are going to have to pull it off and fix it.

Did anyone else have this problem or is having rattling in their dash?
This is what makes these forums valuable. I have heard a slight rattle from the left side of my dash. I thought it was kinda nit picky so I was going to mention it at my next service. Now I'm going to print this forum page and bring it with me. Thanks
