Dashboard rattle fix...possible

I just returned from the dealership where I have my car serviced. I was having a routine oil change (Mobil 1) done and I mentioned to my service advisor about the rattle behind the glovebox. He said they would check it out. Well, the rattle seems to be gone. According to the service reciept, they tightened the bolts that hold down the airbag and realigned the glovebox. Hope this was helpful.

Thanks for the info. I have a similar rattle, does yours sound like there's a bee trapped in there? I ONLY get my rattle 25% of the time and the weirdest thing is, it doesn't rattle when the STEREO is turned down to zero volume. I think there is a loose tweeter or something that is causing my problem.

Anyone have this problem too?

I would tend to think that your problem is related to your tweeter. My problem only surfaced when driving on rough roads. I believe someone on this site described it like a loose screw in a tin can.

Actually I have often been described as having a screw loose.

it's the fuse box located on the dash/passenger side. Open the door and utilize some foam tape.

100% the problem.

I'm thinking after all the rattles are fixed, the entire interior will be completely taped with foam

Open the door and look on the side of the dash. You'll see it.
