| Briskodian  | Happened to me - dealer replaced the whole glovebox under warranty - said there was nothing to adjust!

| Got the same problem. For now, we've found the following solution. The rattle comes from the small insert on the lid which fills the hole when the glovebox lid is shut. It seems it isn't big enough. Place a small piece of paper around the insert thingy and it will stop the rattle. Hardly a technical explanation, but it works. Rob - top tip re getting it replaced under warranty - job done!

| might have to follow this up with the dealer then, it this squeek / rattle like a metalic sound rather than plastic trim buzzing / rattling? i get it intermittently when driving on poor surfaces or when the stereos cranked up and the bass vibrates it.
