Do you know which part of the dash this noise is coming from? If it is close to the blower motor, I would try removing the blower motor and see if you can feel around in there and get it out.

Otherwise, I need to know which duct from the options below you think it is in and we can get the process for it.

However, I attached the process for the removing the blower motor for your review.

I believe it is the left defogger duct, when I place my hand from bottom I can feel the vibration. I removed cover (right side) connected to it (3-5.5mm screws) cover still won't come off, feels like upper left corner holding.

Looks like there is a screw in the upper left corner. Take a look at these from the manual.
