    ok, needless to say I will try Etlsport's suggestion first
    if that doesn't do the trick I will fiddle with the instrument cluster, I appreciate the help and the advice on what NOT to do!
    thanks again!!

    Hurray, finally found that awful rattle. Thanks to Bart or Little Beast ( I can't remember which), I wanted to switch radios out for one that had a working cassette head. Apparently, there was an amp attached to the antenna wire. Basically, it's a small black box, I'm assuming it's an amp of some kind. Either way, it was behind the radio resting on the metal in the back of the dash. All this time I thought the rattle was coming from behind the instrument panel and instead it was behind the radio. Wow, I'm very happy to finally track down that one. Now, on to my list of 2-3 OTHER annoying noises/creaks that the VX has...

    Wow, took ya that long to find that?!? LoL, I would have gone crazy already and have had the entire dash taken out as to not have to worry about "any" rattles at all!

    let's just say it wasn't necessarily a small rattle, it was loud enough to overwhlem the radio but for whatever reason it only rattled between 60 and 65, so I got used to driving the speed limit or driving 70, I tried a few things behind the instrument cluster but nothing worked so I gave up and resigned myself to living with it. It was a nice side bonus to discover the culprit by exchanging radios.
