EASY DIY SOLUTION:
Using black felt w/adhesive backing (found in any craft store), I lined the inside of the glovebox. The felt comes in 8.5' x 11' sheets.
  1. Simply cut the sheets to follow the lines of the inside of the glovebox;
  2. peal the backing off the cut pieces;
  3. and apply the cut pieces to the inside of the glovebox.
The glovebox now has a more solid feel to it and the items inside no longer rattle around.

I also did this same process to the storage/1st Aid boxes under the seats.

Its amazing the difference this easy DIY makes!
I'm really amused by the concept that the glovebox holds "items" or that there's enough room in there for things to rattle around. Mine is barely large enough to hold a single pack of tissues!
