put the screws back in that hold the dash pad to the dash face, they are (or supposed to be) right under the lip of the pad, just above the guages, and running across the entire dash. maybe 8-10 screws?

The begining of the week it was nice but now its going down to the mid upper 50's here in Northern California 
If your dash screws check out (there should also be two in each defrost vent opening) check your motor and tranny mounts. Those V6's are kinda harsh when turning over.

Re: what causes this?
Ugh... Take the dash pad off and tighten the 5 bolts holding the dash housing to the cowl lip underneath it (one on each side of each dash speaker and one in the middle), and then the 10mm bolt at the bottom of the metal center support bar in the middle and also the 10mm bolts at the sides. THEN tighten the dash pad.
