W210. At 100km/h, rattle coming from where dash joins windscreen. Not related to RPM at I can be doing ~60km/h, at similar RPM, but no noise. Also, if the wipers are moving, the noise is less/disappears. As soon as wiper is stationary, noise is back. But only at ~100km/h and ab0ve. Almost like a speed warning bell, but way more annoying.
Any ideas for its source.

I once worked for ford motor company in the warranty workshops, part of my job was to determine dash rattles in sierras. It's amazing what ripped up bits of cardboard packing will do when jammed into the dashboard. One guy kept coming back with the same fault. It turned out that he would go home and take his car apart to see what we had done to it. Of course the cardboard would fall out.

Yeah my guess would be the scuttle panel- the piece of plastic under the windscreen wipers. See if you can lift/move any pieces around this area as they are in a high pressure zone and will get flapped around a bit.

If it is a sqeek then I find spraying some slicone spray usually does the trick.

It's not the dash, its everything else that goes to making a MG. Speed or revs not the issue, things fall of theses cars continuously.

Checked the scuttle panel. Seem pretty well secured. Will have another look at them though.

The rattle is getting a bit annoying. Seems like at a certain speed, something is not secure, and is loosened up.
