Angry Persistent Dash Rattle is killing me

The black trim at the base of the windshield has been the only rattle I have not been able to fix or put up with. It is the trim that the VIN plate is riveted to. I have taken it to the dealer....not for the rattle, it was in for a tire balance problem....and they SAID they fixed it, which they did temporarily. So when the rattle came back, I went about fixing it my way, I pulled the trim up and added some weatherstripping padding-foam to the piece, and I noticed that the little white clips that attach the trim kinda fit loosely. So, the foam didn't work.....I think I may use a dab of RTV silicone on the clips where they attach to the trim.....Has anyone ever had this rattle drive them crazy too? How did you fix it?

thanks!
