Default What to use to stop glove box rattle?

The upper glove box (cd changer) hinges are rattling when going over rough roads. I put some Shin-etsu grease on them and that did not help much. What do you guys use?

Thanks.

Shin Etsu is a rubber preservative...

Open the upper glove box, remove the side plastic hige nut covers on door, check for loose hinge nuts.

bradass, good to hear I am not the only one Looking into various products and will update if anything works. My car has no rattles except this, so it also drives me nuts

Simple fix!

It was the plastic door (inside glove compartment) for cabin air filter. Took the door off and all rattling is gone!!! Yes, so happy

Proves the car is so well made if the only rattle is from a plastic door and not from any dash components....
