Question on how to fix interior rattles

Been reading through various threads on interior rattles. I've got a couple. One by the drivers side door and another in the center console area and they are getting to be annoying.

Is this something that I can take to the dealership or an autoshop or is it something I just will have to live with? Is there like a recomended list of things for them to fix for rattles or anything like that?

Thanks

I havent had any rattles untill this winter. And it just happened 2 days ago. It's my glove box that's doing it because if I am holding it tightly closed its not making any noise. I dont know how to fix that but I will be figuring it out soon

The next rattle will be the rear leftside door, same rattle as the front door.

Where are you guys getting these service bulletins? What I'm going to do is take it to a local shop and give them the bulletins and have them fix what they can.

Are there anymore out there?

Thanks

I just had mine in for an oil change an mentioned 3 rattles while I was there. Nothing huge and was not going to make a big deal about it. Pass Door pop-out pocket rattles, shifter base makes popping noises and rear shelf rattles when sub is too loud. When I went to pay for my oil change the service tech said they special ordered all the parts for me. It ended up being just under $1000 in parts. I was shocked but very pleased!!

I'm still skeptical about whether or not I want to take my car to the dealer for this.

I've heard a few horror stories where the dealer had all the right intentions to remove the rattles, but in the process they only made it worse.

I guess the best bet is to take all of the service bulletins in there so that they don't have any room to make a mistake.

Just got my car back from the dealer today. I can honestly say that dealing with Nalley Acura in Marietta, GA has been a very enjoyable experience. I had a rattle from my front pass. door pop-out pocket and when they could not get that to stop they replaced the entire door panel. They also replace some parts around the shifter and "adjusted" the rear shelf. While I was a little sad to give up my 09 TL loaner I was very pleased to not hear any of the annoying noises driving down the road.
