When I bought my '95 new, it had a rattling sound coming from the top of the dashboard. After several days at the dealer for their half-hearted attempts at a warranty fix, I began to remove parts from the front of the cabin. Piece by piece, day by day, I stripped that thing down to the firewall - driving it daily to see if I had removed the offending part on that day. The rattle remained. I took the stripped car back to the dealer, and said "I can tell you what is NOT causing the rattle". It took them 3 further days to figure out that a $.05 nylon clip thru' which a rod travels (that trips the doorlatch) in the right front door had popped out. The sound telegraphed up the skin of the door, across the firewall, and appeared to come from the top-center of the dash!
