Default Jeep Rattles

I have a 2008 Unlimited X. I have a terrible rattle behind the dash as well as a squeak coming from the front two pieces of the top. Any ideas? I have had it in the shop 3 or 4 times for the dash and it isn't too bad but the top is pretty annoying. Also, when I hit a bump, i hear a noise coming from the right rear, not sure how to describe it. Any ideas are welcome.

Unhappy Dashboard Rattle

I have the same dashboard rattle. It seems to go away after things warm up. I have not gone to the dealer yet. I'll keep ya updated.

Last time it was in for the dash I had them put the updated pillar parts in so its not that anymore. But ya I know this comes with a Jeep, I've had a couple of TJ's but it is a bit annoying.
