Default Anyone else's interior plastic rattle?

I was driving on some seriously bumpy roads today and noticed that my plastic piece for the shifter bezel really is starting to rattle. I took the piece off and noticed that it stopped, put it back, and it started doing it again. Has anyone come up with an ingenious solution to get A pillar covers, door inserts, cup holders, anything that is a separate plastic piece... to stop rattling? It's just kind of annoying. Thanks all

Everything in my car rattles, Solid motor mounts and cams FTW. But seriously is your panels are vibrating, try replacing the push pins.

My trim panel that goes around the two center vents and down along the sides of the stereo rattles pretty good sometimes. I was thinking of taking some 3M dual-sided tape, the thick foam-like ****, and putting it in between the trim and the dash. Kinda basic, but I think it'll work.

I've had the SAME thoughts EOD. Because that exact piece you are referring to ALWAYS rattles, and I touch it slightly to move it around, and I hear slight creaking. Then it stops LOL

Anyone know what kind of paint to use to re-paint that piece?
