Default glove compartment rattle

I've had the GX for a few months now and love it. Over the past couple of weeks I've started to notice a rattle coming from the glove compartment. Its not something inside as i can get it to stop if I apply a little pressure. Any ideas on how to fix other than some weather stripping? I have it in for the 70k maintenance next week and may try to see if they will fix it under CPO warranty.

Thanks in advance.

When I bought my 2004 gx470. I looked behind the glove box and found old receipt for work done
3 valid gift cards some tools . I would drop your glove box and go exploring [ manual tells you how
its in the section on how to change the cabin air filter

The glove box door comes off pretty easily so you (or your mechanic) can change the cabin air filter. As mrblister stated, this procedure is documented in your owner's manual. It's a place to start.

Here's the key: while the door is easily removed, it CAN be re-installed wrong, where the hinges at the bottom aren't properly attached. This can cause a rattle--I know--as I did that myself. Pretty obvious though.
