Remove the glove box and see if it still rattles. If it does, it's probably your dash panel. If the rattle stops, try bogging with bits of foam until you isolate it.

Under the bottom edge of the Glove box there is a black metal rail that extends the length of the GB. It is about 20mm wide.. Just check that the screws that attach it aren't loose or missing. Just stick your head under the glovebox and look for the bottom edge that is closes to the passenger seat.

Hey mate, i can here a rattle coming from the hinge too. Did you just spray it with some WD40 to fix it?

Although mine is more of a squeak than a rattle
