2004 Accord rattles

I live in Chile.

We have very rough streets here (lots of holes, cobblestone, etc), so
rattles are a lot more evident here than in the US. (At least that's what I
remember when I used to live up there).

I just brought back my Accord from the dealership after they spent two days
fixing the rattles. They replaced the center console (the pop-up door),
which was the most noisy thing of all.

Seems a lot more quiet now.

There certainly are government pressures to reduce emissions, improve fuel
economy and improve safety ... but not to "cut costs".

The auto manufacturers don't get a free ride by blaming the governments for
the auto companies sometimes ham-fisted cost cutting efforts.

My '03 has an annoying squeek in the area around the shifter, used to have a
rattle inside the stereo headunit somewhere but that went away on its own.
