I haven't looked... but when you open the hood. I am guessing there are two rubber stops. One near the fender on the driver and passenger side.

I believe you can turn them left (CounterClock wise) to raise them a bit. You will only need just a little. Then that should end your rattling.

I did that on my RSX-S when I put in stiff motor mounts.
