    Recently developed a rattle/vibration in the plexiglass on the instrument cluster. Seems to only be taking place in the mornings, presumably due to the colder weather or from the truck sitting over night. Anyways, it is clear that the plexiglass is the culprit because when I apply pressure while it is making noise it the noise completely goes away.
    Thought I would start a thread about this in case others are experiencing the same thing, so we can hopefully crowd source a solution.
    FYI, I have not reached out to a dealer yet, thought I would start here first.

    Is this on a first gen? Or third? If it’s the third are you sure it’s not the passenger seat tweeter speaker cover? If it’s a first, maybe the first gen section can help you better

    3rd gen, definitely not coming from passenger side. Unfortunately, it is 100% the plexiglass

    Yes it's still under warranty. I am hesitant to bring it in to the dealership though, I don't want them to have my daily driver for a full day or a few days and then say "Normal functionality" or "Can't replicate." Seems like most users report these remarks from the dealerships when they bring their trucks in for odd noises in the cab.

    So bring it in for warranty or do you want to live this said rattle? Shit man, rent a $20 loaner for the day if you cannot be without or daily driver.
