Well, my glovebox latch rattles, but haven't had time to play with it. Other than that, just the rear sway bar (will be fixing the brackets) and whatever crap I have in the car.

Only rattles are my dashboard. About 3 different ones but 2 are rare and the common one I fixed. Otherwise very tight.

I am currently getting rattles from the rear of the passanger compartment (C-pillar area maybe?) ever since I had my rear windshield replaced. Any ideas?

The only thing my car has in this category is a sort of a buzzing rattle in the center console, at certain idle speeds.

Before I got rid of my previous car, a 1994 Tempo, I swapped radios. I liked the Tempo's radio better. That counts as a mod, doesn't it? I also kept one of my Tempo's wheels to use as a spare. I hate those stupid ?compact? spares that come with modern cars. Does this count as a mod? If so, I guess I have two mods. Replaced burned/melted blower switch and connector on 19 February 2002 with a 1P3T toggle switch from Marvac and a Molex connector from Rat Shack; I guess this now makes three mods.)

One still under dash while driving and up in front, low, whenever I slam a door. Have handled a couple around the rear wheels.

The rear dash area rattles on mine, but I think my stereo causes that. The dash board rattles as well. I took it apart and used silicon to hold things together better.

one rattle on the freeways near seattle, it is my dash, by the center console, but since it only rattles on the freeway it makes it difficult to locate and remove
