My '24' is solid except for a rattle on the top dash pod over the instrument cluster. I can press down on top to stop the rattle but it comes right back. I’ve tried stuffing foam near the back of the pod but it only goes 1/4” in then stops, looks terrible especially viewed from outside looking at the windshield and it doesn’t get rid of the rattle.
I dread going to the dealership and have them tear apart the dash possibly creating more rattles or leaving it for a couple of days with the most common response “ Could not duplicate”. Anybody else have this issue? Thanks.

Easy fix. If it's the gauge pad, it easily pry's off with just some light upward pressure. It's two pieces attached with about 10 machine screws. Once you remove the dash pad, unscrew the two pieces, and install some insulating material between the two halves and screw back together. I did this the first month I had the car (2024) and it fixed it permanently.

Thanks. It makes me nervous to pry the pad off and break it but it sounds like a good fix!
