My 25 has a dash rattle that is driving me crazy..
Me too. My dash clatters over every tar strip or pothole. Combined with the satanic high pitched wind whistle from somewhere around the a-pillar, I’m slowly starting to regret not getting another Honda if I’m honest. I will say that although Ford build quality is disappointing, they do A/C a lot better. The A/C kicks butt in the Maverick than any Honda I’ve ever owned.

You would think with this being the 4th year of the Maverick and a refresh they would have fixed the dash rattles...

Exactly what I was thinking when I bought it.

For wind noise, here's what I'd try :

Anybody else have a minor defect they've chosen just to live with rather than bring it back to the Dealership? Mine is a small (but annoying) dashboard rattle...
Yes to this -- so annoying. What's also annoying is my wife doesn't understand that it's annoying!

I have a weird one: When I go on the screen and adjust the treble or bass for the sound system, it immediately turns on the heat full blast. I did it three times. I would love for someone to let me know it's human error and what I'm doing wrong.

Mine has the same rattle. Especially when driving over those tar strips on the road. The volume knob usually helps take care of it or putting my hand on the plastic above the digital display.

I had an annoying dashboard rattle pop up over the weekend and thought 'oh damn here we go, rattles are starting already!'

My GF traced it to cheap sunglasses sitting in the tray behind the screen 🙄

Awesome! Thanks. I'm thinking of using electrical tape or super thin felt strips over the clips like other car manufacturers do. If that doesn't work then I'll stuff some felt down the gap btwn the cluster's hood and the dash.
Rattle all gone!!! A couple weeks ago I used double stick Scotch tape with 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch strips of craft felt. I removed the lower cluster trim and then removed the hood over the instrument cluster and applied the tape and strips on all the metal clips and around the edges of the hood. NOTE that the cluster's hood is removed by pulling the hood backward toward you and the steering wheel. The illustrations were unclear regarding the orientation of the clips and I thought the hood was removed by pushing the hood upward toward the windshield and I broke off one of the tabs on the right side. No matter, the rattle is gone so all is good.

The steering wheel airbag cover has had a gouge in it since the day I picked up. Only noticeable when the sun it on it at a certain angle, but still annoying.

The less-than-helpful dealership service advisor never got back to me about getting it warrantied when I tried over two years ago...
