Glovebox Rattle

My glovebox is rattling just enough to drive me nuts. Everytime I take it into the dealer to get it fixed, they tell me they either don't hear it, think it's the items in the box rattling, or replace something, but it never really goes away. I know it's the glovebox because I can temporarily stop the rattle by opening it and slamming it shut. Anybody have any ideas what exactly is rattling or how to fix it?

Thanks!

Open the glove box, at the bottom are 2 screws, one on each side to secure the glovebox hinge to the dash. Try loosening the left side and pushing the hinge closer in so that when you close the glovebox, it is "tighter"

My dealership ended up replacing my whole glovebox. On mine, it seemed like the locking mechanism was loose. I didn't see any way to tighten it.
