Remove the glove box and interior plastic cowl. Then get a mate to listen to the rattles when you drive. Sitting in the foot well is not something that I would recommend even if it were the best way to hear where the noises are coming from. Silicon spray is great for plastic on plastic squeaks and rattles. Good luck. :wink:

Change your wife/partner! Mine is always stuffing the glove box with lady stuff that rattles about in there.
