How do I access the glovebox latch (the metal latch secured to the dashboard)?
It just started rattling, I noticed that it is quite loose and just tapping on it causes it to rattle.

I tried searching, seems there were some pictures but are now gone.
Hope it's an easy fix?

look at the threads for replacing the cabin filter. You remove the trim that covers the latch and you should be able to secure it.

These are related to glovebox rattle not the latch that is attached to the dashboard

Thanks these threads are helpful

I had the same rattle. Its the bolt all the way in the back above where the cabin filter goes. Once you get all the trim out of the way you'll see it, just keep banging on the dash to make it rattle

Thanks guys, I just fixed it. Too bad I didn't have the cabin filter handy, would replace it - since I was already there. Overall this was a quick fix for a nasty rattle. Thanks again to all.

I isolated my glovebox rattle on my 05 to the latch. I tried quite a few things to fix. What ended up fixing it was putting black duck tape around the latch mount to make the latch fit tighter.
