Anyone dealt with this dash rattle noise before?

It seems like mine is right in the middle but maybe under the dash. No amount of pressing on anything changes the sound. Has anyone seen a video or instructions to remove the top dash?

My 20’ XLT rattled on the top dash piece. If I put pressure on it with my hand it would stop.

I pulled the piece off and put felt tape on the clips and any other place where there was plastic touching plastic and the noise is gone.

Hey Chris, maybe you can help Jon figure out how to remove that top dash piece?

Next time I get to my truck I’ll look at the dash piece and see how I took it off.

Update:
I got the forward most piece of the dash off with no problems. Just slid a plastic ruler between where the forward/rear pieces meet and clips start popping off. Super easy. Drove around like that with 0 change no matter what I pushed on.

Went back to the wipers. Took the blades off and removed the springs to relieve all tension on the windshield, wrapped the hooks with a sock and painters tape so they wouldn’t tap or scratch the glass. Drove around for a bit and heard absolutely nothing. Seems to be 100% related to the wipers. Maybe I can find some old school ones that don’t have the blade design or some lighter springs. Just glad to know it isn’t deep in my dash somewhere! Thanks everyone.

ohh, i have not thought about the wipers being part of the issue, my rattle sounds more like metal than plastic. Who knows.
