Rattle in passenger's side dashboard: my fix

I've been increasingly aggravated by a plastic-sounding rattle in my passenger-side dashboard, and it was definitely not related to my fuse box or the speaker surrounds. After a lot of disassembly and frustration I found that the passenger airbag connector was loose on its mounting. It's found behind the panel underneath the airbag itself; simply remove the two Torx screws and yank very hard to get to it. The connector is mounted on a metal prong that sticks sideways from a metal piece, and in my case it was loose enough to rattle on rough roads. Now, despite its 216k miles, my '95 9000 Aero is much quieter on rough surfaces. For those of you lucky enough to have older cars without airbags, I envy you.
