Does everyone's glove box rattle?
Just wondering. I've read on here that some people drive with it open since it is so annoying. I've been doing the same thing that past few days.
It rattles even with the owners manual etc. out of it.

I have not noticed a single rattle myself either....That's not to say that there isn't a rattle, just that I've never really heard one knowingly. Is it that noticable? I'll try to ear in and turn down my music on my next drive this afternoon

I was thinking of putting some adhesive backed foam around the edge of the glovebox in the hopes that it would eliminate the rattle.
Haven't tried it yet.

I must've jinxed myself this past week when I said I finally got rid of the last annoying rattle.
My glove box has been a source of rattle(s) after some time of ownership, but now that my remaining annoying rattle was quelled, my glove box came alive and started to annoy me. I know I've heard quite a few others with glove box rattles with this car, so I'm glad I'm not alone. What's weird is when I bang on the glove box door when it's open, there's no noise. When I close it and bang on it or around it,there's some noise, but not necessarily the same rattle I hear when driving. I've wrapped many many velcro felt strips around it, even around the metal clip that the lock mechanism attaches to when shut, but now nothing's working.
I'd like to hear some feedback from those knowledgeable in taking apart the glove box door / hinge so I can work on it myself, rather than turning it over to the dealer.

my only rattle is the driver side window.
it seems to be less or go away once the inside of the car is warm. but it's annoying because the rattle is next to my left ear and the car is new and i demand perfection and am easily annoyed. yay for me.

My rattle/buzz comes from over there, but it seems to not be the box but something under it. It resonates at around 4K rpm, so I hear it when I'm accelerating, drives me ape-$hit. It went away when it got colder, but now that we're having a spell of warm weather (probably 75 deg. F today, eat your heart out ), it's back. My wife is ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS when it comes to helping me find the noise, I swear, you could have the fenders dragging on the pavement and she wouldn't notice it. I need to get one of my gearhead buddies to drive it while I find the source. Don't waste your time at the dealer, it won't make the noise for them, it's a law of physics.

my glove box had rattled occasionally. don't know what caused it or what quieted it down. it just happened, and disappeared after awhile. weird.
this car definitely is very prone to rattling. everytime i didn't secure the sun visor to the holding clip it would rattle like crazy. maybe it's the stiffness of the suspension or something, but vibrations travel all over the car. i wish they can cushion the whole car on a giant piece of foam. otherwise it's an excellent car.

I get the visor thing in every car ive own. its just the connection point shaking...most cars shake. I do get rattling that come and go in the glive but I have pens in side of them and they could be doing it...I also regularly remove items from the little cubby hole in the door...things like DVD's in that slot could also cauz rattling...I think at one point I will just straight up empty my glove...I mean you dont need the manual everywhere you go, or it could go in the back of the seat.

I hear a rattle every now and than. But I can't pin point whether its from the glove box or else where. Sometimes its just change rattling in the little compartment to the left of the steering wheel.

Thanks.. thats prolly what I'll do, I also got small rattles in the foot well of the drivers side and found that it was the really flimsy panel held on by a twist type mechanism, It actually helped to loosen the Mechanism so that the plastic on plastic vibration is eliminated...
