DASH POPPING NOISE

X5 Dash Rattle/Popping Noise (WMV)
Noise Fixed on 2/11/2011. Below are the complete tech notes on what was done to resolve noise.
* Unfortunately to do this fix they have to remove the dash and with my dash they were unable to reinstall
correctly.  That is the dash was not level along the window line.  They tried to correct this and were able to make
mostly level under window but now does not align (not level) at A-Pillar on driver's side.
