I am wondering if there is a suggested product for this. Most use silicone but I know that several manufacturers have specialized materials...just want to see what I can do to eliminate rattles...
Thanks.

I believe silicone was the go to, because if required a panel could still be removed if needed, without completely destroying it.
Some adhesives might take a jack hammer to get them to release.

Silicone and rivets installed per the instructions (locations and spacing) and your panels will not rattle. I've done multiple builds with silicone and never a hint of a rattle. You can rest easy on that one. Some want the added strength of something else, e.g. urethane. You can decide, but it's not going to eliminate any rattles. Others don't want silicone around their build on the chance it could contaminate their paint in the future. Hasn't been a problem for me. But some have cited that.
Having said that, I tried some Sikaflex-221 on my #8674 build. But went back to silicone on my Coupe build. Breeze recommends and sells Bostik 1100.
