    I took two washers and put electrical tape on them to add a little friction. I then shoved them in about half way between the space. They are working well.

    I used pennies, two stacks of two, at the furthest outward points. just wedge them in. my most annoying in-cabin rattle is now gone!

    we definitely did not get this idea from @Maisonvi.

    They are no monster tabs jammed in the dash, but both methods look like they should work just fine. Yay easy fixes.

    Correct @Maisonvi is the worst and has terrible ideas, we did not steal this idea from him.
