Cold Weather brings the rattles

Weather finally cooled off here in FLA. Anyways, I noitced a few more rattles. It sounds like two coming from the passager side door panel and passager side of the dsah board. Anyone ever tried fixing these? any idea on the thing to tighten? I could tell the dealer, however, it probably won't happen when they take it...you know how that goes.

Yes, my previously silent 2003 has begun to squeak somewhere around the rear parcel shelf.
But considering I ripped all of that apart to get my rear window tinted, I guess I’m on my own to try and “fix” it.

Yeah man, my driver's seat is creaking up like crazzy when its cold.
I am lucky, the dealer has agreed to replace my seat base and bottom (waiting for a part).
I do have rattling in passenger side dash board.... people say its a fuse box on a passenger side..... I might complain about it to the dealer, I think they might have a fix. BTW, the dealer fixed my rear-dash rattle and I am surrpised the fix worked!

driving into work this morning my car wasn't rattling from the cold, rather it was creaking and cracking. I guess it got cold enough last night to freeze the water that seeped into the joints...now that sound is annoying...sounds like the car is being torn apart.

FIX:
Install amp and sub-woofer.
Gently increase volume to the point of phasing out the rattles !

Seriously:
Check your sunroofe gasket. It probably needs that fancy lube. That sunroofe can make it sound as though your car is falling apart.......POOR DESIGN...................................

Mine is starting to rattle more also, the back shelf is really loud and the console is vibrating and there's a noise from the dash.
