Ticking/rattle in the glovebox area on 2011 GT
I removed the glove box and traced the rattle (more of a tick/pop) to the lower support bar. I put some velcro pieces between the platic dash part that the glove box attaches to and the metal support bar (also has a ton of electrical grounds attached) and reassembled.
It worked for about 4 miles than it came back, then a bit later it went away again. Really annoying sound.
I am not sure I want the dealer trying to "fix it" as they may scratch the dash or create another rattle.
I am going to buy some foam tape and insulate the hell out of the area which I am sure is just what the dealer would do anyone.
185 miles on the car and it was down to a 1/4 tank left so yes I am enjoying it! Only complaints are the automatic trans (I miss stick) and the glovebox tick/rattle.

Check the plastic behind the door handle...the 05-09 had a notorious problem with clicking/popping from these that is REALLY hard to pin down unless you know about this.

I hear a similar noise once and a while. It's Left of the Passenger vent (the round one) and above the glove box. Is this the area you're referring too? Nothing too noticeable tho.

I had an occasional clicking sound in my car. I pinpointed it as the left side of the trim above the glovebox. When I held the left side of the trim in it went away. That could just be on mine though... It seems to have gone away though recently.
