Anyone get glove box noise/rattle?
I have this rattle that I only hear at low speeds on bumpy roads. I don't know if its coming from my glove box (I tried sitting passenger while someone drove) but its coming from that general area. Emptied it out and everything with no luck. Anyone have this problem?

I believe I have the same rattle you describe. While driving with a passenger, I had them listen and feel around until they pinpointed the source. She narrowed it down to the lower right area behind the glovebox door. When pressing on this area, the noise stopped. I doubled up a felt pad and shoved it between there and the trim near the door frame. I haven't driven enough yet to be certain if it 100% eliminated the rattle. It may take several drives to know for sure because it was intermittent and not always audible.

I had a very annoying rattle but from the driver side... finally narrowed it down the little holder door on the driver side in my 2018 SQ5... opened the door and slammed it shut.. rattle eliminated!

I had a very annoying noise coming from this area. I thought it was the glove box, but this seems to have been misleading and instead it seems to be coming from that plastic piece stuck on the side of the dashboard. Tapping it with my hand, it sounds cheap plastic. I put a towel between that and the door and then closed the door to jam it in place and the rattle seems to have stopped.
Does anyone know how to remove this item, as I'd like to have a look underneath there to see what could be making the noise?
