Personally, the instrument panel was one of the few things that didn't rattle. My AC controls rattle quite a lot, but it's the unit itself rather than wires behind it. I just took the shotgun approach as I have a ton of acoustical foam and am wrapping everything in foam while my dash it out getting wrapped in Alcantara. Behind the speedo there is just one wire bundle, so I'm not sure what would be rattling for you. It's possible its clanking against the metal / plastic in there.

Everything goes back in place really well as it is predominately held together by screws rather than stupid one use plastic connectors that are part of the piece itself.
