rattles rattles rattles
 
i have several rattles and need some advice on what it could be and how to fix it.

marbles in a can under the glove box. I have already searched for this and dont really need more info. But i did find that if a stuck a piece of paper between the glovebox and the dash, the rattle goes away. This one happens whenever im braking, just a bumpy road, and idling.

Side mirror rattles when i close it. Researched this one too. looks like only easy way is to send it to the dealer.

Rattle somewhere on the driver's side door panel. I think its coming from where the black/shiny intstrument panel for the window switches meets the bose speak cover. Its more of a squeak and when you put some weight on it with your leg while driving, it stops. i can only hear this one on the highway

Rattle from center instrument panel. I think this one is coming from the same basic idea of center instrument panel touching the dull black plastic. again when i place my right knee there while driving it goes away.

Rattle in left subwoofer or rear glass. Cant really be sure about this one. Best way to do this one is the dealer i suppose. I can hear this one just about anytime city or highway smooth or rough

Steering wheel. Everytime i make a 90 degrees turn and the steering goes back the the original spot, i hear cracks while the steering wheel goes back in place. Nothing braking but just cracking sounds.

just wanted to know if you guys knew exactly what caused these rattles and how you got them fixed.

And how do you take off the door panels?
