Glove Box Door Rattle

[exit9]

Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I'm getting a rattle from the glove box door on my '10 G37xS. While driving on not so smooth road, the glove box makes a rattling sound. If I open the glove box door, no rattle. Close the door, rattle. Any ideas where there could be a contact point causing the shakes?

The latch area is more than likely causing the rattle when it's closed.

I stuck some bubble wrap inside the latch holes. Let's see if that makes a difference.

Make sure all the screws are tight.

Have you been in service with the car? AKA did they replaced the cabin airfilter? Most likely just no tightened one or 2 bolts/screws.

^^ shows which screws to tighten.

I'll checked the screws to see if they're tight. I only have 6K miles on the car so the filter hasn't been touch yet unless they checked it during pre-delivery and the screws weren't tighten properly. Thanks for the link.

I checked all the screws and they're tight. It sounds like the rattle is in the latch mechanisms. I tried stuffing the holes with sponges but it made no difference. When the rattle starts and I lift up and hold the glove box latch, it goes away. As soon as I let go it comes back so there could be something funky with the tongues.

I'll have the dealer look at it. I'm coming close to the 7500 mile service so I'll have them see if they can silence it.

Good idea. This should be covered by the warranty.

Update: Went to dealer today for 7500 mile service. Mentioned glove box door rattling. They did the following:

APPLIED FELT TAPE TO GLOVE BOX DOOR HINGES TO STIFFEN PLAY

Hopefully, this does the trick.

I had the same problem, but in the winter. Did the felt strips work?

It worked for about 10K miles before the felt started loosening. They removed and reapplied felt along with some kind if lubricant and it went away again.
