    we have an '06 model and the dash rattles like you wouldn't believe. I've taken it off twice and to no avail it still rattles.

    I used a single flat-head sheetmetal screw in the center of the "knee panel", running the screw straight up (via a pilot hole I drilled) into the metal brace/bracket just above the need panel (up towards the steering column). There is about a 1/4 or 3/8" gap between the plastic panel and the metal brace. I only ran the screw tight enough to put pressure on the plastic panel, and not so tight that it would warp the panel. Since the screw is down past your knees, it is out of sight (plus the black screw matches my black panel), and my rattle has been non-existent for several months!!!

    Now if I can figure out the annoying rattle & squeak in my headliner / sunroof area...
