rattle noise on the passenger box

I just recently hear a rattle noise on the passenger side. I decided to check it, I thought it was a the door but the noise is coming from the passenger box. How can I fix this noise? it is very annoying, it happens when I do low rpm and push the gas.

You should not put your passenger in a box. All seriousness aside, check the seat belt. I find that if the passenger seat belt has been used, to often retracts with the wrong side facing out, and this allows the metal tongue to strike the b-pillar.

yeah you are right, lol. I checked it, it is not coming from the seat belt even though it is not on the wrong side facing out. However, when I try to leave the box open, the rattle noise is gone. Could it be the screw of the box or what?

I have this too, but I think mine is something IN the glove box. I'm going to empty it and see if I still have it.

Same here... I suspect that it is a common problem not related to what we have inside the glovebox but rather something to do with a loose clip or screw...

I had the same issue when car came back from service checked under the glove box and the one of the torx screw was not tightened all the way; one that holds the glove box.

I tried to empty the box, the noise is not gone at all. there is a little bit noise but it is not as bad as before. I am going to the dealer next week and see what they are going to do about the noise. It drives me crazy so much!
