What did you do about the rattle in your gas cap?

I was cleaning the 04 X5 with stereo thumping and while walking past the gas cap, I could hear a vibration in the lid, turned out to be the green cap holder that you put the cap in while fueling....what would be best to stop that from vibrating when the subs are thumping...some silicone, tape?TIA!!

Weasel will become famous soon enough
I had some clear epoxy handy when I heard that on mine after the sub install, so just put a bit across the top and it seeped between them. It has been quiet(er) since. The plastic holder is quiet but the fuel door still rattles against the rubber stopper a bit. I plan on sticking a magnet in there to hold it from rattling when I have time.

Pics might help but if you use a little imagination, problem solved. I cut small pieces of double-sided insulation tape and stuck it in between a few places, including plastic holder. The tape isn't visible and no more vibration.
