Default I have a rattle in the driver side above the rear seat, PLEASE HELP?????

I have taken it to the dealer several times and they claim they can not get it to rattle. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Now that the weather is getting warmer it is doing it less. Now my center dash area is creaking and rattling, UGGGGGG!!! ANYWAYS, sorry for getting off topic I have a few questions I need help with and they are:

1. Does anybody know what it is that is rattling above the rear seat on the driver side, this way I can tell the dealer how to fix it. I am hoping this is a common problem that isn't unique to my car.
2. I also have a dash rattle on teh passenger side around the far right air vent. They dealer can't figure this one out either. What is the problem because when I hold pressure it that area when it rattles it fixes it. What is the fix for this problem, is it an easy fix?

Rear rattle might be the speaker cover area....mine had to get some anti-noise treatment there.

My dash is rattling on the passenger's side. When I put my hand on the dash, it stops. This may be an easy find for me. I will listen tomorrow to see if I have any noise comes from the rear. Try taking the service rep on a test ride with you in order to duplicate the rattle.

Typically the rattle on the passenger side of the car buy the vent is the wiring harness. There is a wiring harness that supplies the little light on the open/close wheel on the far right passenger vent. Securing that should hush the rattle.
