Upper Glove Box rattling

The upper glove box has developed an annoying rattle when doing about 20-30 mph. When I open it, the noise goes Rolling Eyes
For now I'll be driving with it unlatched. Has anybody else had this and more importantly managed to resolve it Thumbs Up

Mine used to do that - used to do my head in - dealer couldn't seem to fix it so I just did as you do and left unlatched - permanently fixed it by selling my D3

Spot of Vaseline on the latch and the two rubber contact points = noise gone for me

I had the same on a D2, took me weeks to work out where the noise was coming from, the cure? drill some discrete holes and inject the lid with silicone sealant, worked well.

There is a Land Rover technical bulletin regarding upper glovebox rattle. You have to replace the two little rubber stoppers that make contact with the glovebox lid. Land Rover part number LR020472.

My D3 is OK, but a friends has the same issue. I had some kitchen door closure bump stop type things from B&Q. They are just self adhesive rubber pads. I put one on each side where the factory rubber stops are supposed to hit and it just take up the slack. Simple 2 min fix Thumbs Up
