I also have the glove box area rattle. I've not had a passenger work it with me, but I've ruled-out the contents of the glove box being the cause. And, like other posts noted, opening and closing the box will usually stop or reduce the rattle. Also it seems to stop if I press it closed more tightly (pressing with my hand at the top edge of the glove box). The worst part in terms of getting it fixed is that it is erratic. It doesn't just rattle any time you're on a rough surface. It's hard to predict, some times when I expect it to rattle, it doesn't. I can just see taking it to the dealer, at which time I may or may not be able to get it to rattle, and even if I do, they may do something ineffective, drive it around the block, and declare it fixed. Obviously I'm not alone, though. I may try the cushions between the dash and glove box, but Ford needs to acknowledge this and address it with a prescribed fix, rather than have individual dealers winging it with who-knows-what in attempted fixes. A modern $45,000 vehicle should not have an embarrassing rattle like this that makes one forget about all that's right with the vehicle and suggests it's poorly made like the old days.
