My rattles came from the mirror which is fixed now
I thought the rattles were coming from the dash as well. When I leaned my head forward I found that they came from the HomeLink mirror. I got it replaced by the dealer under warranty and now the rattlers are gone.

I just have to figure out if that's the real cause or not, since there isn't much play in it, like others have said. Hopefully I can get to it after removing the cluster.

My 8 has developed a rattle in the dash also. I can only hear it when driving on streets that are a little bumpy. I found that if I place my hand on the instrument cluster, the rattle stops. Upon further investigation, I found that the instrument cluster can be moved slightly, so I presume something needs to be tightened up. I plan to have my dealer fix it next time I have the car in for service.

RX8 and a Truk....
Looking for Help: anyone who has has Dash Rattling (Behind Tach/Speedo) Fixed..
My mazda dealer fed me the line: "We'll need your call all day; rattles can be hard to diagnose" - I'm hoping to help him out by sending him as much info as possible as to how others have had their rattles fixed. Idealy, somebody would be able to scan their service work order showing what the mechanic did to stop the rattle.
Anyone ?
Thanks!

You might want to revive this thread: Rattle Behind the Dash; and PM some of the people who were planning to have the dealer check the problem.
magixpuma has a DIY on how to remove the dash and fix a squeaking problem behind the gauge pod.
Hope those two links help.
