Any recommendations on fixing common squeeks and rattles in interior?

Now that the weather is cooler I drove the car with the windows up for the first time in a bit. Just noticed a few more squeeks and rattles in the cabin. Any tips on fixes for these issues? Seems like I have a new one on the rear deck, back seat side panel over the wheel well, and driver's side door. Probably all due to loose plastic. I don't want to double sided tape anything since I tear down the interior quite a bit...

Get new interior panel fasteners from Nissan- tight fitting panels will cure quite a bit... Not sure why you take your interior apart so much, but last time I took mine apart, I sound deadened the whole cabin- helped immensely.

- Also, you could just isolate the ratlles & strategically place some foam. I'm with you- double sided tape sucks if you remove panels frequently.

I install/remove stereo equipment about 2-3 times a year it seems based on seasons. Warmer months I rip everything out for track days. Car has an identity crisis. ; )

I actually need a lot of those fasteners, ranging from the plastic screws/push-pins to the metal clips that tend to break off of the plastic body panels. I know my rear deck has a few plastic snap plugs missing.

I'm not sure what to call those, so if anybody has the proper terminology and/or a place to purchase them then I think this will go a long way.
