Interior rattles and other noises

I'm working on pinpointing and fixing a few rattles I have coming from inside the car. One squeak in my door ended up being the window track's sleeve being pushed down a little so that's been fixed. Now I've got noises coming from the passenger side of the top dash piece - pressing on the right most edge causes this to creak in the same way I hear when driving down the road. I've glued felt to the back of the thing everywhere but the creak is still there. Leaving all the screws out of the right side of the dash piece makes the noise go away but then the thing is just dangling there.

Has anyone had such a problem and found a solution? It does not seem to be coming from anywhere that I can see, including the hvac ducting.

My '"bug eye" dome light also rattles - I need to hot glue the reflector to the rest of the housing to fix that. I first through it was the lens, but taking it off, it still rattles. The reflector piece moves around with just slight pressure. Just a heads up for anyone looking to install one - they may not be quiet without modification.
