Default Shifter **** rattles

My C7 manual transmission shifter **** rattles as I drive. It’s just the little plate with the shift pattern on it that rattles or vibrates and makes noise as I drive. Anyone have a fix? Not sure how to remove the plate without damaging it.

Had this happen to an older Explorer 5 speed. I cut up a sock & stuffed it inside the **** & the pressure once put back on made it stop.

Same here, though I'd describe it as more of a vibration that a rattle.

Not sure what additional details you need? The vibration in mine goes away by resting my hand on the shift ****, but it is an annoying issue.

While I haven't had the problem, I thought I remembered reading some threads on this. Below are some quick search results and while some of the posts are regarding aftermarket *****, there are some good ides sprinkled within them that might help you.
