Is there anything more irritating than a constant rattling in your car? This one comes from my glove compartment. I have emptied several times to make sure it wasn't my stuff causing all the noise. I took the glove compartment out and tightened all of the screws I could find up under the dash.

The only solution right now is to keep the glove compartment open while I'm driving. Not only is this lame and irritating, it's also not feasible when driving with a passenger.

Any suggestions?

Dashboard rattles when first driving car near the passenger side air bag cover. Cheap plastic components do not have any sound or rattle deadening insulation or molding. Very cheap construction and poor engineering.
