rattles all over...

My 89 900S hatch has a bunch of rattles and I'm starting to get really aggravated.
1. The dash. There's a rattle somehere up in front of the instrument panel where the dash attaches to the front of the cabin--only intermittant right now, but I'm sure it'll get worse sooner than later. Any ideas how to fix this?
2. The driver's door has a rattle right about where your elbow would go if you rested your arm in the little recess on the door--if I pull the door trim toward the inside of the cabin by pushing against the window glass, I can make it stop, but when I release it, it rattles again. Is this the plastic cover on the inside of the door just rattling (I'm inclined to think it is) and is there a problem with just removing that cover?
3. In the back, sounds like the left side somewhere on the hatch, there's a rattle. I haven't been able to investigate because, .. well, it's hard to pay attention to back there while I'm driving!
4. When I'm accelerating hard in first, second, and third, around the 2800-3700 rpm range, there's a rattle/oscillation up front -- sounds like its out of the cabin, but I'm not possible. It's not very loud but it sounds like some panel is loose. If I'm just driving under normal or little acceleration, though, it doesn't rattle in those RPM ranges. Any ideas on this one?
5. When I go over big bumps in the road, I get a rattle in the front right, but only sometimes. Seems like if I hit it right, it doesn't rattle. What is this--it's not a heavy CLUNK, but it's definitely very evident.
Thanks for the help.
