We have a sub forum with all the TSB's listed. Here is the PDF link for a dash rattle found on some 05 models:

i dont know if thats it, the tsb says a single pop sound, mine is a rattle not single pop, and it doesnt sound like a rock hitting the windsheild. it is definatly coming from the right side of the instrument panel. has anyone used this tsb to fix this problem.

Is it the vent cover near the base of the windshield? The best way to tell is to gently push down on the dash (not the cover) near the passenger front of the dash by the windshield when it's rattling. If it stops, it's that bracket/plastic piece that attaches to the dash. Worth a shot anyway.

For what its worth, we had a dash rattle from new that was coming from under the dash near the radio & console. Turned out to be that the lower section of the dash was not fitted into the pressed metal locaters behind the console. Easy to see if you get your head under there and push against it.

Yep, had my original TSB 'fix' halfway reversed last week to eliminate the annoying right/side dash rattle which manifested itself post TSB 'fix' for the window clacking/popping noise problem. According to the Chrysler service tech, he reinstalled the screw which was initially removed previously, but just did not tighten it as tight as it had been during the vehicle manufacturing process. According to my wife who just returned from a 500 mile roundtrip excursion in the car...the original clacking/popping noise did not return and the annoying right/side dash rattle is now gone...hope this helps.

There's a dash rattle I heard about that is the chrome rings around the gauages not being tacked properly to the dash bezel. Since it is underneath the instrument display glass it throws the sound so you can't pinpoint it easily. Good luck taking that thing apart...
