Default vibration causing dash to rattle

I have a 05 tour deluxe turbo lite conv. That I have notice a vibration in the engine only when it is stopped in gear. I have the standard auto trans. It is worse when the a/c is on. The dealer ship has adjusted the motor mounts,this helped with the rattle in the dash but then the rattle came back so they replaced the motor mounts, now the rattle is gone for now but the vibration is still there. I have 14k miles on it. Any ideas?

What if you idle in park? Vibration better? MIGHT be tranny clutches aren't slipping enough when you're stoppped. MIGHT be balance shafts in the engine if it's still bad in park.
You shouldn't have to diagnose it - just stay on top of dealer to fix it.

The vibration is better in park, if I am stopped at a light and turn the steering wheel you can feel the vibration in the steering wheel but only when you create a load on the tires if you know what I mean. Anytime you put a load on the engine at idle the vibration in worse. I will contact my dealer again. Thanks for the insight.
