How To: Remove glove box rattle
Excellent post, thanks guys!
Any suggestions for door rattles?? Since it only happens at random times, I'm still not 100% sure where the door noise is coming from exactly. Putting pressure on the door skin and trim pieces doesn't seem to help, and the rattle sounds kinda like a "springy" sound coming from the area between the door handle and B pillar.

If you remove the door panel and plastic liner, you can feel around inside and find it. Mine was very loose. I used a piece of foam about 3"x3"x3" and wedged it between the rod and the inside of the door. All gone!
While I had the door panel off, I also used some rubber tape on all the connection points and felt tape (same stuff from post #1) between the panel and the shiny dark grey trim piece. The door has been very quiet ever since!
Next for me is the rear deck...
thanks to the OP for this post. my glovebox started rattling about a month after i got the car. pretty annoying everytime you hit a bump to hear the rattle. fixed it with the sticky backed felt as suggested. always helpful to see a "how to" so i didn't break something or other trying to get the glovebox out.
Thank you to the OP for this thread. Easy to follow directions and great photos. I didn't have a rattle yet, as the car is brand new, but didn't like the "cheap" sound/feel the glovebox had when you closed it. This fix makes it sound/feel more solid when you close it. Great part is it only took a few minutes and cost about $2 for the felt. Great cheap and easy thing to do.
Would recommend to everyone, even if you don't have a glovebox rattle yet.
