Interior Rattling Driving Me Crazy.

So over the past few months my 2005 G Coupe has started rattling in certain sections of the dash. I think I have pinpointed some of the areas, however I am uncertain how to proceed. A few of the rattles seem to be coming from behind the air conditioning vents in the middle, if I press on them, the rattle ceases. Another is under the steering wheel, on the panel where the side mirror adjustment **** is...if I pull on it a little bit until I feel it pop out of place, the rattle stops...it just pops back into place though soon after. My friend thinks I am crazy for being so picky about my ride. It really annoys me if I turn off the radio and just ride in what should be silence...invaded by ambient rattling. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.

Specs: 05 Coupe, 60k miles.

It's a sports car, you won't get a "QUIET" G35

To quiten the rear deck I used dynomat all over it and put some foam in the bigger air gaps to keep the trim panel from being free to vibrate. I also have removed the 6x9's out of the deck too, but that was for a different puropse. Even put some foam under the brake light. There are no rattles from back there anymore. As for the console you may get some success with replacing the plastic securing clips. New ones would be stiffer and lock in place better. The ones behind the vents, well that all depends on how much it annoys you. But it is possible to get a quiet G, my coupe is pretty quiet after all the sound deadening I did to it. Spooky quiet even at 70. Radio and AC off all you hear is the air over the car.
