Rattle from the glove box area when driving on the rough surface, anyone? It's rattling when the glove box is closed, but no rattle when open. Can't figure out what part is causing that 🤔

My 2022 Rav4 glovebox is nearly identical to that of my 2018 Subaru Crosstrek.  Both have the same rattle issue, which I tracked down to two things:

1) The plastic hinge for opening/closing makes a plastic-on-plastic creaking noise: lubricated the hinge surface with a light grease to fix it.

2) The catches that hold the glovebox closed rattle: hard plastic on plastic, on each side of glove box.  Covered them both with sticky felt.  Problem solved.
