Some of us who are constantly taking apart the inside of our car know about the rattles and squeaks that soon come after, or even if you dont remove the panels yours may have squeaks and rattles...here's my cheap and permanent solution.

Materials needed
-Weather striping tack(ill find out the correct name later today)

Remove your trim, You will see behind each bezel, there is a metal tab, thats what rattles and squeak's against the plastic.

tear off a little piece of tack and lay it on all the metal clips like so

I'm doing this today if the rain stops. It's so bad on the passenger side that I have to fade the radio almost all the way to the driver's side just to stop the rattle & squeaking.

I already bought the tack, but I was thinking that a few shots from a can of rubberized undercoating might work too if you have some extra on hand.
