Rattle or Creaky sound from defroster vents near windshield
Hey guys. I just bought a 2013 v6 Mustang Convertible. This car has been plagued with squeaks. Some of which I already fixed. I have a unique one coming from the defroster vent area of the dash up on top near the windshield front and center. I added some foam tape on the A-pillar area on the driver side cause I had to move the remote starter earlier today that did nothing though because I still hear the noise in the center of the dash. I also shoved some foam tape between the windshield and the top of the dash but that did nothing. I opened up the dash in the stereo area but it definitely wasn't coming from there. Even tightened the wire to the DC port to prevent the cigarette charger from rattling.
The noise happens as soon as I start moving even at 1 or 2mph slap it in gear and I hear it as soon as I start to roll. Its definitely something lose.
I am running out of ideas.
Should I pull out the cluster and center vents to see if something is moving under the top of the dash?
Anyone had this problem with the 13 Mustangs?
I can wedge more between both A-Pillars on each side but does anyone have any ideas

Hold the rear view mirror while you're moving and make sure it's not that. It makes kind of a "twangy" rattle, pretty common.

Thanks Deysha but these issues weren't even built right at the manufacture on a 2013 mustang. Today my external temperature is now reading incorrectly. I can go to a Ford Dealer but they will charge me an arm and a leg to fix things that never break on a Honda or Toyota. Hoping the smart people here can help.
