Passenger Side Rattle over bumps (Please help)

[JTM88]

Please help me find this rattle. It started a few weeks ago when the temps dropped, and it's driving me crazy.

- The noise is independent of speed or engine RPM and seems to happen when going over bumps.
- It sounds like it's coming from either the passenger side dash area

What it's not
- I removed the A-Piller trim and drove around, the noise persisted
- Removed Rear View Mirror and trim, the noise persisted
- Removed plastic cover under the windshield wiper cowling, the noise persisted.

The only thing I can think of doing now is trying the fuel line fix, but from what I understand that vibration is related to engine speed, not bumps.

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Doesn't sound like the fuel lines but I don't know otherwise. Check inside the glove box etc. Passenger seat?

I’ve check the glove box, overhead storage, and under the passenger seat. I couldn’t find anything that would was making noise.

Have someone ride with you to find it.

I was able to find and fix it today. I was taking the a-pillar trim off again to check for something I missed and I leaned against the corner of the door card and it make the squeaking noise I had been hearing.

I took the door card off and found that the door panel clips were squeaking where they slid into the door panel. I removed all the pins and gave them a light coating of white lithium grease, shaking off as much excess as possible. I then put them back in the door card and re-installed it, and voila the noise is gone.
