Default Instrument Cluster Noise

Do any of you experience a little plastic rattle almost under vibration or high frequency bumps from the clear plastic lens over the speedo and tach? This happens depending on the temperature as the plastic expands and contracts I guess. Anyhow, I'm about to take to the dealer to insulate or replace cause it drives me nuts. I shouldn't be hearing in a $100k car with 5k miles!

Doesn't happen in mine...no rattles of any kind at any speed or going over bumps...

Normally I don't have any either. But this happens some times.

I don't know if there is anything you can do about that. Many cars are like this. I know my Mustang has exactly the noise you described in cold weather.
