Default Dash rattle help

I’ve got rattles on both sides of my dash by/in front of the air vents. It’s not the plastic covering the mirror bolts i know. Anyone have this and know a fix? I could use suggestions for felt tape as well. I’m not far from digging into it and trying to stop the noise!

Did you pull the dash apart yet? I'm about to pull mine but I'm reluctant. I feel that every rattle I fix, I'll create two more.

Default I hate rattles

I had a rattle that I may have created trying to remove the upper glove box to install a glove box w/ door but failed
shortly there after, I had a rattle that ended up being the passenger piller cover.
I ended up putting thin weather stripping between the air bag and the plastic piller cover and problem solved

I thought the rattler was an upgraded F150?

lol. In some ways it is.
I guess it falls between an STX
and xl
main thing on the interior is the lumbar
support the xl does not have
the STX and Rattle package has lumbar
i want to figure out how to remove the glove box to add the door.
the airbag is preventing me from getting it out.
I was able to remove the one out of my
21’ xl and it has the door.
I may just leave it alone so I don’t create another rattle.

I had a rattle on my 2023 Lariat that I thought was coming from the Instrument Panel area. Turns out it was the horizontal piece to the left of the gear shift lever that goes from the Armrest to the dash. Electrical tape on the tab's that attach it to the dash fixed that problem. Now I have a buzzing type sound that appears to be coming from the behind the passenger side plastic cover for the bolts holding on the mirror. The sound is only there when I'm driving above 40+ mph.

There is a thread here that details a common rattle that comes from a loose screw behind the HVAC control. There is a decent video down a bit in that thread where one member shows the screw.

It creates a metal tapping noise.

I’m pretty sure I have this exact rattle as well. I’ve already had my HVAC module out twice, why not a 3rd time.
