Sorry for the ignorant question but where exactly does the tape go in the AC vents to stop the rattle
I put the tape around the frame of the trim ring on the back side between the clips that hold it in. If your rattle is from the AC vents you might have a different problem but if you can push on the trim ring and make the noise stop then the tape should help.

I also switched from the tape to 1/4" foam windows stripping (home depot/lowes) as the tape will not stick in cold weather and can become a source of squeeking itself. If you use the foam you might need to double up to get the pressure needed to hold the trim ring tight to the dash. Most squeeks in this area are caused by the plastic rubbing against the dash.
