Here is the fix I found, it's quite simple, you lean back the seat to about 60degrees, and the rattle will be completely gone

Such an easy fix and then it works like a charm!

Confirmed! This is what I did and there's no rattle. Then again, I never had a rattle to begin with.

So what if you're really short and at 60 degrees you can't see over the steering wheel

My seat and the passenger seat rattles, creaks, squeaks and whatever other noises you can think of. I seriously have to take this thing in when I have time.

Wow you guys have a lot of stuff rattling around in your cars! Are you talking about the drivers seat or passenger seat? When I'm driving I can see the passenger seat rattle a little bit but it's not like I can hear it or anything.

I was talking about the passenger side, the driver side never rattles

Oh yeah and if some of you guys have sunglasses in the box above your head, well its gona rattle hahaha, so better put something soft around those sunglasses before storing them there

Turn up the radio....works like a charm and solves all of your rattling problems!

I've found the glove box rattle to be on the release handle. If you hold it as you drive the noise stops. If anybody has found a tried and tested solution for shaving, driving, drinking coffee, holding the cell phone, shifting gear, holding the glovebox, passenger seatbelt, passenger seat and sunglasses holder all at the same time, let us know. Oh....go ahead and post some pics of that too....I'd love to see you try.

As long as you don't "lean like a cholo" , it's all good.

See my ****** don't dance,See we just pull up the pants and,Do the Roc-a-way.Now lean back, lean back, lean back, lean back.I said my ****** don't dance,See we just pull up the pants and,Do the Roc-a-way.Now lean back, lean back, lean back, lean back.

And don't forget to lean like a Cholo afterward

^ That was very unnecessary. Such explicit lyrics should not be posted on public forums.

he said logical...

maybe material that stops rattling would be worth a look

A small piece of dynamat near the contact points inside the glove box
