Default rattle coming from somewhere up in the dash??

ive been noticing lately that theres a rattle coming from somewhere up on the dash (kind of near the speedometer/windshield area) but i have no idea what it is or where its coming from. i took my radar detector off thinking it was that, but the sound still persists. its noticeable when accelerating and then disappears, then comes back when accelerating again. i took the coins out of my cupholder so its not that... anyone have any ideas? its been recent, not a problem ive had and i have about 25,000 miles on it so far... i hope its not because one of my mods, but ive checked them too and i still cant figure it out (i have injen CAI, strup headers, and strup exhaust)

any help will be greatly appreciated!

i do believe that there is a TSB for this problem. i would take it to the dealer and tell them everything u stated here (minus the part about the mods) and let them fix it. even if there isnt a TSB they should b able to fix it 4 u

I've noticed a slight rattle around 3000 rpm, and it just sounds like it's coming from the speedos up there. It's too freakin' cold to find the source right now, but come spring, getting in there is so dang easy I'm going to pop it all open and stuff padding strips in every little crevice I can find. I don't think mines coming from the window, though.
