Default Minor interior annoyances

Hey guys so, I am experiencing two minor issues with my interior. One is a VERY annoying sound and the other is a vibration.
At low speed and early/cold morning starts I hear a slight rattle sound coming from the A-pillar area or the front windshield area on the drivers side. Like a screw tapping a large metal pan. I have know idea what it is lol

The other thing I noticed here recently is my drivers side mirror tends to vibrate ALOT more on uneven surfaces compared to the passenger side. Almost like a tab has popped out. Also it takes about 2x as long to defrost in the morning in comparison as well.

Any input or suggestions would be awesome thanks

Take the pillar piece off and poke around.

Usually the glass on the mirror is just snapped on, it should pull straight out so you can take a look, maybe it has become loose?

Yeah I can do that. If the rain will ever stop -_-
It almost sounds like loose change lol
VERY hard to pinpoint the sound while driving. I'll pop the a-pillar off and post back if I find anything.

Might be a loose set screw on the mirror base.

Side mirror...
Open the door panel and tighten down the mirror base.
Unplug the mirror harness and clean the contacts.

Thanks for the input guys. Didnt notice anything loose in the a-pillare area. Tapped/pounded the dash area to recreate the sounds and it might be the drivers side tweeter thats loose. Tapping on it made the same noise I keep hearing so, gonna see if I can tighten that down too.
Good call on the side mirror. Thats and easy fix.
