there are a lot of potential spots for rattles, the best option would be to have someone ride in your passenger seat and they can help you track down the location of the rattle

I may know what it is if it sounds like it's coming from the passenger side door area. Check the outside metal stripping on the bottom of the door. Mine is still loose and it rattles occasionally going over bumps.

Check and re-torque the front end stabilizer links. There was a TSB that covered my production date.

Okay I live on roads that are very rough and drive them at least 3 miles a day and I have figured out that one place I get a rattle from inside the car is the domed part that goes over the instrument cluster (speedo-tach) because I am on the road long enough so I can put a hand on that part and it goes away and when I move my hand it starts back up.

The only other rattle inside of the car has been in the seat belt area where you can adjust the level next to your left shoulder.

One other thing everyone needs to look under the front of your car and check the plastic panel that covers the underside of the engine compartment (keeps debris out of the engine compartment) because mine almost completely fell off. The only things that hold this own are the same lousy little clips they use to hold on the strut tower covers and you know how easy those are to remove. The only reason mine didn't come completely off was they used screws on the front part when they replaced my front bumper and the only thing holding the back part is about 6 of these clips. So just a little FYI.

That kind of stuff drives me nuts, my 4th gen is like a tank, but my 00 rattles and squeaks all day. This doesn't apply to your gen, but you may find some of it useful.
