I have a rattling noise around the glove box area. When it first started happening i thought it was something in the glove box but it seemed a little further back. Has anyone had this problem or can guess at what it is.

Thanks.

Well the cold will make all kinds of stuff rattle, because as metal gets colder it contracts, so it opens up some of the tolerances. My old Prelude's sunroof would rattle like hell when it was below 40 degrees, above that it was fine.

I'm guessing whatever is rattling isn't serious if it's in the interior. Either way, always a good idea to tighten things up, old cars work things loose and parts start to rattle and vibrate.
