Default rattle rattle rattle

The plastic things that rattle in my car have gotten worse since I got the car. It had slight rattles in what seemed to be the front 2 doors only back then, but now I can hear them in all for doors (or so it sounds) and the B-pillar. It's most noticeable going over speedbumps and now I can even hear them when I just stop and go.

Apparently this is no surprise but now it's really annoying. From what I've seen theres possibly clips in the doors that come loose, and there appears to be numerous things to try for the b-pillars.

Aside from bringing it down to Classic, which I generally don't have time for now (once they move into Maitland it will be another story), where should I start in trying to get rid of the plastic rattles of death

Default Mine has developed a lot of rattles in the last 5k - 7k.

I have one caused by the glove box, another at the drivers side B pillar or door, and then the wind whistle from my drivers side mirror that happens when I get over 65.

Start by filling all the voids in the car with that expanding insulation that comes out of a can...

Default A Rattle Of My Own

Just bought a black 2000 TT 180 Coupe. Had it a week now and notice one rattle, I believe coming from the deck lid. Annoying as hell, it's really a buzz, rather than a rattle, depending on my speed. Classic Audi said they didn't hear it. I'm going to have to figure out how to deal with it myself I guess.

Anyway, loving the TT so far, no buyer's remorse what-so-ever. Considering I dumped a Mitsubishi Montero lease for an Audi TT purchase, I don't see buyer's remorse setting in at all, at any point in time.

So what does a new Central Florida (Winter Park) TT owner need to know? Been reading these boards a week now. How many TTs are there in the Orlando area?
