Interior Rattle fixes? So I've been doing some research on what to use behind my doors and in the trunk area to get rid of the annoying plastic rattle in my car. I've seen things on other forums for Peel and Seal sold at Home Depot but it starts emitting fumes in hot weather. Dynomat and Hushmat seem to be the best options but are soo expensive. Has anyone had any luck with other products? I've been trying to do searches but haven't really found much.

I used Hush matt and Ram matt on my car when I did it last year. The hush matt was easier to work with but the costs almost twice what the ram matt does.
To help with vibrations and such in the doors and dash I used an open cell foam. A sound deadener, hushmatt, dynamatt, etc does different things than the open cell foam.

what i found with my rattling issue was the plastics were rubbing up against eachother and causing the annoying noise (although i havent found the issue under the dash yet) but what i did was line the parts where the plastics meet with double sided tape since they overlap alittle. also where those screws are that hold in the spare tire cover should have foam between the plastic and metal where the screw meets (since the cars are old, its probably worn out) i also found that the hatch plastics (the ones on the hatch itself) had rattled themselves loose thanks to 2 12w3s haha.
One major annoying interior rattle (under the dash sounding) is from the "hidden" cup holder on the passenger side of the console. There's a little spring that's supposed to connect the plastic of the holder to the wire bottom. The spring pulls it open and holds it tight against the console when closed. When that spring comes off (and usually is hanging on one end still) it allows that wire piece to rattle when it's closed.
