So far I've just made sure all the bolts and screws are tight, but some parts just continue to rattle. Has anyone found a good solution to this common problem?

By the way this is my first post. I love the style of this forum and look forward to being an active member.

Welcome to the forum, where is the rattling coming from?

Well I've been trying to locate the exact parts that rattle, but the problem is I only hear the rattling when I'm driving so it's hard to look. I've noticed a piece in the passenger door rattles. I haven't taken off the door panel to look yet, but plan to next time I have a chance. The glove box was also, but I got that fixed it was just a loose screw. There is also something rattling behind the door panel near the seat belt in the backseat behind the passenger seat that I can't find which is the worst of them all.

Is it the seat belt rattling against the plastic?lol I suggest taking the panels off an look around.

easiest thing to do is ride with a passenger and have them try to press on the different panels in the rattle areas to see if they can pin point the problem. Our cars are prone to them. Never upgrade your engine mounts or you'll have about 20 new rattles instantly

The ratttling behind you is prlooy the seatbelt mechanism ittself. I had a loud stereo at one time and had to force lock and tighten the belt by latching it tight. As for the door, mine had the middle hinge thing had fallen in the door cause the roll pin fell out.

if i have my window down and rest my arm there, I get a rattle in the door like no other!

that's just one of they many

This is a true statement. I had a motor and tranny mount replaced (due to inspection) and the moment I drove it off the lot I had (what I believe to be) squeaky front bushings, new driver side door rattle, and I think it made the shit in the trunk bounce around more

Thanks for all the help guys. This weekend I'll be taking the door panels off and seats to find the problem.
