    When I replaced the cabin air filter recently, I noticed the little latch loop on the left hand side bottom was broken. I just put it together and it does not rattle.

    Anyone have this problem ? What did you do to address?

    It looks like a major repair to replace to part.

    Thanks Jack

    If it's under warranty I would try to get it replaced. If not, I'd ignore it.

    someone else put a dab of duck tape on it. very fragile in there.

    more important than rattling is the seal. you can test it by turning the fan on high with the glovebox out. switch through the fresh/recirq a few times as well.
