Guys, just to share some possibility of the rattling noise on dashboard. I'm driving a 2011 Kia Forte and has been having this rattling noise coming out from dashboard since early this year and seems couldn't locate the fault.

1. Remove the glove box compartment and check the air-cond cabin filter - negative
2. Remove air-cond vent (passenger side) - negative

Finally i manage to solved mine - guess where is the fault? It's from the front hood. Try to pry the top corner front hood (both side) and check if there is some metal knocking sound appear. It is because there is a slightly gap at the lock when u close your engine hood. It could be the rubber thingy on the latch wearing out. So i use electrical black duck tape to secure the hook. At last, rattling sound gone.

Not sure it works for you guys - but worth a try at least, it works for me. Cheers!

Did you know where to get OEM Kia spare parts?
As I need to get a new glove box. The latch opener spring broken today. Hopefully it doesn't cost me a bomb.

Also looking for the silver shining part (rear door behind driver) inside door handle as i accidently scratches it. Leave two deep scratch line mark.

Anyone?
