I figured it's time to start a new "official" thread to compile a list of known rattles and fixes. I'll start with one I recently found. The license plate light- the clear lense fits loosely and rattles with the sub. All you have to do is unclip it and add a few strips of electrical tape to the back to make it fit snug.

when i have my seats moved all the way back, the back of the seat (plastic part) rubs up against the roll hoop and rattles slightly.
also, the passenger safety belt will rattle if its left to bounce around the door trim.
