Identified interior rattle in the dash - Panel help needed!

I know they removed the trim and added the felt tape. If I had to guess, it was probably to the area of the clips.
I have one rattle like that now I'm still trying to track down. Like yours, the rattle doesn't happen all the time. Touch to pinpoint it.
After taking the rear cover off and messing around I settled on the interface of the bottom of the screen and the top of the dash as the culprit. I started buy shoving a business card under the corner (for me this was the passenger side corner) and the rattle was gone for about a month. After feeling like I had this solved I started looking for a more permanent solution.
I wanted something low-friction and that would last nearly forever and not have any interaction with the weather (paper can swell) and eventually I thought of this:
Not this item per-se but the remnant-punch-out piece (oval part where hook goes) from hang tags. I used to work retail as a teen and randomly thought of this after searching for sheet plastic in whatever "mil" thickness I would need. You could still go that route or order something along the lines of what I posted above and cut out a piece, but what I used was FREE! I just looked for one on the floor of the hardware store I was in when I thought of this

After getting the part I needed for this "fix" I trimmed it down a little with some scissors and then shoved it under the right-had corner of the screen. No more rattle! I left the piece slightly long so I can remove it with something like tweezers if I should ever need to, so this is easily reversible. That part of the dash is recessed too so you would never see anything.
