I have a 2011 Toyota Venza with a little over 34,200 miles. It has developed (for some time) a rattle in the glove box/compartment that is extremely annoying. I don't know if it's being caused by the lower hinge or the latch assembly. Once isolated, what in the heck can I do to eliminate the rattle? At highway speeds, it's beyond irritating.
Thanks!!

I hate it when that happens.

Thanks for the ideas and the laughs...I'll try some of them and see if it fixes the rattle.
P25OUA5...It isn't anything behind the glove box and the rattle DOES stop with I put pressure on the door.
21bubba...box isn't overloaded.

Thanks again y'all....

I'm curious if he got it fixed too. My fiancee's 2010 Camry's glove box occasionally rattles too and was thinking about ordering some new glove box bumpers because it drives me nuts when I'm in her car.

Typical Toyota glovebox has two horizontal gravity stops on either side. If you remove those and let the box drop further you can replace the cabin air filter. You can also see the mounting screws at the hinge and gain screwdriver or nutdriver access. Tighten those fasteners and replace cabin air filter. Reattach gravity straps.
