So basically I have to replace the windshield to get rid of this rattle in the dash? That seems a bit extreme.

Replace it with the acoustic unit - Win/Win although it's not an easy fix -
That’s something that Ford will cover? Or do I have to go pay for it out of pocket?

If they cover window replacement to fix a rattle - I don't think it's a big price increase for the acoustic unit.
I’ll pay the difference, the rattle squeaky noise is very distracting. I feel like there has to be a better way to fix it though.

FYI, had several rattles in the front and the back when I first got my Maverick. After several weeks, no more rattles. Everything seems to have settled down. I did have one rattle recently, but found it was a USB cable I had in the FITS cup holder in the back! My brother had a rattle that was driving him nuts and he found out it was these eyeglass holder clip on his sun visor. My advice would be make sure you remove everything that might cause a rattle from say your glove compartment, under seat storage, behind the back seat, etc.

Hi Joe! I can look into your Maverick's dash rattle concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your Maverick's VIN?

I also have the dash rattle issue. My truck has 12'000 km but the problem started this summer around maybe 7 or 8k km. i've been to the dealership two times for this exact issue. they hear the sound, but only tried to add foam strips under the dash and speaker grills wich made no difference at all. As soon as I exit the dealer lot, it rattles as before.
I pointed them to this thread and the fact that the windshield was probably the root of the issue.
It's so annoying, almost enough to make me want to sell it. Didn't have any rattle in a 2k$ Toyota Yaris...

Really don't know. They seem willing to find the issue and if it means they have to change the windshield I guess they'll do it but they did not say what is their next step. I have an appointment on the 30th and they said they'll provide a car while they have my maverick for as long as needed.
Anybody know if it's possible to remove a windshield without breaking it?
Yes, it's possible to pull and reseal in general. I would not trust the dealer to do it though. They'll probably have it done by Safelite.
