    Just took mine out and adjusted the glove box. What was the purpose for the metal plate?

    Boochieboy previously stated that he thought that the metal plate has something to do with protecting the airbag. an 8 pound metal slab seems like a nice protective shield

    When I feel like eating a banana, I like to go to the zoo, sucker punch a gorilla and try to run with a banana hanging out my bum. Then if I succeed, I enjoy my victory with said banana and a stroopwaffle.

    Yeah, I just took a guess that it might have been to protect the passenger from the airbag maybe deploying accidentally out of the glove box instead of on top the dash........that was just a guess though.

    This deserves a bump. The rattle doesn't bother me as much as the door just not lining up.

    For some reason, I've done all of this in the thread, but in winter the rattle always comes back fiercely. I've driven taking my glove box out but it still comes, so the rattle in my car is pretty much from the dash and not the glove box per say.
