See attachment, Glovebox is making a rattling noise, when I press on it, the noise goes away, so I opened it to take a look and noticed that it is separating as in the picture. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Gorilla glue, and a quick clamp. Mask the leather where you don't want glue, apply the glue and clamp it for a few hours. It may be tough to get that to hold to the felt inside though.. seems like the plastic has warped. Maybe use a heat gun to try to get the plastic malleable and do the same as mentioned as well. Or bring it to the dealer so they can do the exact same thing for you, or convince you to replace the door.

I've used 3M interior glue to hold leather to the door card. This looks a little tougher and wouldn't hold the rigid plastic. I think the E6000 might be a good idea.

okay, so assuming I do it, I actually have that exact clamp, how would you guys recommend clamping without damaging the glovebox front?

I would just fold up a thick rag and put it in-between the clamp and the front of the glovebox. I hope mine doesn't start to do this, i already have an issue with my glovebox being loose, have been needing to take it out
It's a plastic clamp. It won't damage it. For price of mind put a roof shingle in there or a real thin piece of wood. It will allow some flex and won't dig into the material. Don't use anything metal. The clamp alone would be better off. Honestly I wouldn't say a shingle is your best bet just so you don't get any imprints on the door
