Default rattle coming from dashboard

2003 s10 blazer
rattle coming from passenger side dashboard area occurs while stopped at a light or while driving over rough areas in the road. checked the hood hinge washer and it has no issues. the rattle stops if i pull on passenger grab bar attached to dash. Any Ideas?

Sounds pretty silly, but is there anything in your glovebox that would cause it? Sounds like it's just something loose in the dash..

I've had the glovebox taken out completely thinking that could be the issue but still hearing the rattle

I'd start tearing the dash off then (unless you want to wait and see if there is another suggestion, but I know a rattle like that would drive me nuts so I'd just start disassembling lol). Start with the front facia. Remove it, take a drive and see if it's gone. Then go from there...it could be as easy as a small screw or something thats loose in behind the dash...

Yeah, that is what I was thinking a loose screw or bolt or something.
