Yes, mine does the same thing every time I start the car. It's worse in warm weather which sux b/c I live in FL.

I just reach over and gently push on it and the vibration stops for a while. Then usually comes back 15 minutes later and I go through the process again. I have not found a permanent solution. I really don't want to cover the inside of the door with dynamat and I could not find a way to get the door off the hinge mechanism to see if I could apply dampener to inside of the door cover.

If some one else knows how to get the compartment door apart, that would be very helpful.

I sometimes get a center dash rattle and putting my fingers into the center vent and putting pressure on the very bottom (opposite side as the windshield) stops it. It doesn't happen very often though. Maybe twice in 7k miles.

I easily fixed the center dash problem... I was driving from FL to Canada and almost shot myself in the face from the sound... so I bought a lotto scratch ticket and broke it into 4 parts, rolled it up and stuffed it into the dash near the glass.

Problem solved and no more dash rattle. Now i gotta get a more aesthetic fix. hahah
