Well I don't know about you guys but I found mine in the sun visor above my head, it sounded like it was coming from the other side of the car, but I hads my son with me and his ears are fortunatley a hell of a lot better than mine. I'll be out there in the morning with screwdrivewr in hand, let me know how you make out.

I have an '07 Limited and had my sun visors on both sides replaced. Reason: They became excessively tight/stuck and were hard to move. Apparently, you should not swing them too far in towards the windshield (sounds weird I know). And I discovered this one fine evening when I was removing my sun shade before starting up and driving back from work. (P.S. - I live in Dallas, TX. It's warm here more often than not... and sunny too) When I swung them back towards the ceiling back in place where they belong, I heard this god awful "cranking" sound. I immediately visited my dealer and came to know that the swivel joints were stripped. Long story short: they were replaced under warranty at no charge. But prior to this whole episode, yes I also had the sun visor rattle as well. Perhaps someone out on the board here knows of a method to lube these joints to prevent what I went through.

Thanks Sherlocke! However, I did one better, tinted the top part of my windshield with the 35% strip. Works like a charm!

Did you get the dash rattle fixed?
I have also noticed an intermittent rattle in my 07 Sonata - which is annoying. I am trying to locate/eliminate the rattle by placing rubber spacers between the dash and windshield - but no luck so far. SO it must be something loose inside the dash. Will probe later when I have more time.
The dash rattle does not affect car performance - just your ears. Other than that, the car is a joy to drive.
