There has to be a way to tighten up the glovebox, but I've searched everywhere and haven't found any videos that help.

Any help is appreciated!
I had this rattle in my car and even took it to a couple of dealers who couldn't replicate the sound of course. It was coming from either the glove box or the passenger airbag. Never got it taken care of before selling. What you could try doing is opening the glove box and driving to see if it's the hinges that are making the noise and add some silicone to them. This worked on my wife's GTI when the back seats were up, it would make rattle but when the seats were down, it wouldn't. Some silicone on the hinge and the noise went away.
