wind noise

I have an 08 f150 fx4 x-cab. Once i hit 50mph and up, i get a rattle coming from the dash board near the front window. Sounds like it has something to do with the vents. Has anyone had a problem similar, if so what was the fix?

Are you sure that the noise is from the interior? Check that the cowl pieces are properly secured along with the windshield trim.

my passenger side (nearest door) air vent rattles and vibrates, needed the wife in the truck to finally find it while i was driving, it was driving me mad! not looked into why it is doing it, i thought it was my cowling too so i had the dealer change it out under warranty, sure enough it was still there thats when i found the air vent! this was in a super crew though, can't see it making a huge difference

I have some squeaking type noise on the passenger side of the dash sometimes. It's weird though. If I turn this little **** in the center of the dash, or push a button on the steering wheel a few times, it goes away.
