I have fixed switch rattles on several cars using adhesive backed felt pads, typically a dark color like brown. These pads are usually up to 2 mm thick. I use a razor to shave them down to about 1 mm. Then use a thin hobby knife, putty knife, or palette knife to position the pad on the side or sides of the switch actuator. Sometimes half a pad is all you need. Just enough to fill the space and keep the switch toggles from rattling. This has consistently worked for me and is invisible if done right.
I used to take the switches apart to apply the pads. But I found it is pretty easy to get them in place without taking anything apart.
