Specific Dash Noise... Help Please!

Hi All
Sorry for seeming lazy. I know there are lots of threads out there for rattles. Too many perhaps. If anyone has this specific one I would sure appreciate quick comments. It only occurs at 45 degrees or less. Did not hear all summer. It's a "Click" type sound and I know it's not the clock, vents, etc. It seems to be coming from the dash area directly in front of the steering wheel. It actually goes away sometimes if I put pressure on the right side of the steering wheel itself. Frustrating thing is that it does not sound as if it's in the column. It sounds higher up than that.

Anyone had this specific one?

Thanks in advance for your comments...

First thing I would do is take everything that's loose out of the car, ie. anything in your glove box, trunk and the conveinance box next to the cup holders. Also check for any loose change. Reason being is that I had a similar noise too and it was all the crap I had in my glove box that was doing it. Hope this helps.

Yeah, I think I got it too. Sound seems to come more from the passenger side. It nearly sounds like the windsheild is cracking. I've had it since day one (actually day one plus 180, it's a demo) I never bothered to waste my time talking to the service manager.
