Vibration/rattling sounds coming from dash on idle

If you watch the video linked you can hear a rattle/vibration sound coming from the dash. Any of you guys have this problem? If so any solutions? This sound happens only in idle and doesn't appear when driving.

The volume on your video is very low. I can't really hear anything. My dash rattles when it's cold outside only. Haven't found a solution.... If its really annoying i just put the car in neutral and it stops.

Do you have long tube intakes?

I've had this happen when intake tubes lean on the car frame.

Yeah I had to max out my phones volume but you can definitely hear it. I think it could be because of the cold weather I didn't have this noise during last summer. But who knows

So if you pop the hood you cant hear it there? Put your hand around the dash and panels see if you can feel the rattle.

Mine does the same. There is apparently a TSB for this. It involves "lubrication to the windshield".

That actually makes sense to me. Sometimes when I go over bumps I can hear my windshield loosening if that makes sense. It's probably causing the vibration

Did you fix yours?

No. Cold snaps don't last long on the Texas Gulf Coast. After a day or so, it's warm and I don't hear that rattle. Out of "sight", out of mind.
