Rattle and squeaking noise about the glove box area

I searched the forum but didn't find the answer. I have looked and re arranged the content in the glove box, opened then shut few time while driving hoping the rattle goes away but to no avail
The fl2 makes squeaking noise in the glove box area when accerelate and the engine rev is between 1400 - 1500 rpm and in 5th or 6th gear (mostly in 6th). It doesn't happen all the time and seems to stop when the engine reaches normal running temp. I think the engine/ system (drivetrain?) vibrates in a certain frequency at the above conditions which causes the squeaking around the glove box but when the normal running temperature is reached the system vibrates in different frequency that doesn't effect the loose part / parts? so it stops squeaking.
Thank for any advice!

Thank for the tip ad. I went out and tightened the bolt about 1/2 turn hopefully this will fix the annoying rattle. Will report later if the squeaking stops.

Yes it did stop but as I didn't dare to tighten fully the rattle came back and I tighten the screw further. After that no more squeaking even after 4000 miles to Spain and back recently.

Thank you...

I'm not sure, my car is left hand driving Question I'm not expecting to find that screw behind the right wing as my glovebox is in the right Sheep
