Try taking your sun glasses out of the sun glass holder.

OMG Yes.
I noticed this too shortly after purchasing my CX5. This is the most annoying thing in the world. I have not been able to find a way to *use* the convenience of the sun glass holder and not hear stupid sounds coming from it. Wrapping my glasses in cloth helps, but then its a fumble to get the glasses out.

I velcroed my garage door opener onto the inside of the plastic door. Works as well as the accessory Homelink mirror and no rattles!

But then you have redundant stuff! I use my homelink for my garage door opener, why do i need another garage door opener? >_<

But I don't have Homelink. Thought that would be self-evident!

This is what mine turned out to be. Odd, it sounded like it was coming from the glove box area, but once I read this I was able to track it to the sunglasses.
I have also had issues with clunking that is not related to the sunglass holder. It sounds like it's coming from the innards of the defroster. I don't hear it all the time, but it does seem to be more consistent when temperatures are below or near freezing.

Check TSB for windshield cowl.

It is in the sticky, top of the CX-5 Lounge section.
I figured it out. For me it was most apparent when it got cold. It's definitely coming from the beam left of the windshield. The plastic padding got loose, and when it moves around it makes a clunky nose. It's hard to locate because it's close to the windshield and the sound is deflected. It stops if I jam it into place a bit, but I have to find a better way of stabilizing. Hope this helps.
I think you're referring to the A pillar.
You can pull the top portion of the pillar cover out about 1/2" (toward the passenger side) and then reseat it to see if that helps. There's a fastener that prevents you from pulling it out further without releasing a catch. The full width of the cover pulls away at the top, not just the corner that wraps around to the door molding.
Do you have a dealer installed auto-dim/home link mirror?
