Rattle in Dashboard

I have the most killer rattle in the far upper left hand corner of my dashboard and to no avail have I been able to fix it. Does anybody else ahve this problem and does anybody have any idea how to fix it? It's behind all the duct work and up in one of the corners. What can I do to stop this from happening?!?

Rattle in Dashboard

I have the same problem with my '78 F100 which has the same interior and dash components as your Bronco. My solution has been, so far, to turn the stereo up louder b/c I have no time to fix it. But I think it has something to do with the wiper linkages, because they are the only things back there that could rattle like that. Everything else is just ductwork and wires. To get to them you either have to have really small arms or take the intrument panel out. If you still don't have enough room then you have to remove the whole metal dashboard. Done it once, takes about 40 mins. to do and is one hell of a pain in the #####. If I were you I'd just get a louder stereo.

.....forgot to metion that the wiper linkages are behind the duct work and they do extend to the upper left hand corner. So this is probably the source of the problem.
