Front passenger side rattle

Front passenger side rattle
It seems that my car has developed its first rattle by the front passenger side door by the air vent. I have no idea of what it may be and I don't want the dealer to start tearing the car apart. Has someone heard these rattles before in this area? I test drove another maxima and it had this rattle so it may just be the way the car is manufactured. Ideas?

The dealers have all the necessary tools to properly remove/reinstall the trims and everything else. isnt that the whole idea of having warranty? To have the dealer rectify any defects in the vehicle. No point in diagnosing/fixing yourself that doesn't have the proper tools. Just my 2 cents.
But to answer your question, I've test drove plenty and haven't heard of any rattle.

So far I have had no rattles. That is good, because I will not tolerate rattles. I try not to put styrofoam drink containers in the drink holders because they sometimes creak like a zombie emerging from a coffin. Dealers have the proper tools to remove interior upholstery from doors without doing damage. That may be your best bet to get this correctly analyzed and fixed.

So I go to the dealer and the technician who was assigned to fix the rattle took a drive with me down the road. So he is touching around the dash, in the glovebox, and at the sunglass holder, nothing. He notices that the sun visor was not clipped in so he snapped it back and the noise went away. Long story short, if you hear a rattle make sure the sun visor is secured.
Anyways 45 min to the dealer and a 5 second fix. Felt like a dope but hey at least they didn't rip my dash apart.

I also have a rattle somewhere in the passenger area seems to be somewhere near the air vent near passenger window and only over 40-mph and uneven bumpy roads. I need to take child seat out from back just in case that is the cause. Last rattle I had was my radar detector hitting against rear view mirror using a V1 blendmount. Not the glove box it's empty? I'll take it in for service eventually if I don't find the cause.

I thought I had my first rattle yesterday, but my wife kept searching and found it was the nosepads on my sunglasses inside the ceiling sunglass compartment. I was relieved, as I will not tolerate rattles.

I have a very loud rattle inside the dash on the drivers side. It developed around 2,000 miles after I took it in for the 6 month oil change. I hardly even drive this car. I am very dissapointed with the 2016 maxima and all of the dozen issues, 2 recalls and escalating problems with it! Don't buy one!

I too have a weird rattle that seems to coming from my drivers side pillar by the seat belt connector. It only happens at about 35-40mph. It sounds like something is rattling inside the door or something. It's actually quite annoying as it is right by my left ear! I just bought my car like 3 weeks ago and Haven't had time to take it down to the dealer! I know its going to be a pain in the ***.

Press or apply pressure to the infotainment system bezel, closest to the driver side, when you hear the rattle. If that's it, press real hard and it should stop for good. Worked for me..

My 3 week-old SR has rattle from the driver side door. It is from the door interior panel. When I rest my arm on the top of the door panel (bottom of the window), the rattle stops, but the rattle comes back when I lift my arm. It is quite annoying as the rattle is right at my shoulder level near my ear. In addition, there is a small rattle from the dash sort of right behind/under the steering column. Both the rattle from the door and dash are really faint, it bothers me because I'm rather sensitive about this things, but it probably won't bother my wife if she is driving.
Not sure if there is anything that can be done. So I might just have to get used to it.
