Default Help with Vibrating noise near A/C Knobs

Hey guys,

I have this annoying vibration coming from somewhere near/below the A/C Knobs. It happens when I shift the car into drive and when I'm either sitting still with foot on the brake or when accelerating between 1000-1500 rpms. It seems that the vibration is made worse when the air/heat is turned on?

Does any one have any ideas? I took it by the dealer yesterday to let the service mgr. hear it but after a quick inspection he said they'd just have to schedule me in.

Thanks!!

I have the same issue on my 2013 JKUS. It popped up out of nowhere. Then I remembered the dealer asking if I wanted the inside a cheap filter changed. Seems they did not have a new one to put in, but that's not the issue - I figured out how to get to it (off the side of the glovebox), and noticed the footwell vent feeding the passenger side was the culprit. It just seems to be hanging there. A couple of zipties and some 3m tape did the job..
But I feel you pain, it absolutely drove me nuts...
