Gazbut, Matsu recently asked about this in this thread, somewhere in it I linked to Joesgti earlier thread about the two bolts on the side of the dash, and in it people talk about and link to the thread on fixing your venting issues..... and breath!

....Oh it is! I hear different noises and rattles every time I drive. That particular rattle has now gone (for now) since I posted above.

I'm not very fussed about it but IF a persistent cabin trim rattle is identifiable and curable I may as well do it.  :happy2:

RR when you hear the rattle, try gently resting your finger on the opening button for the glasses case to see if that stops the rattle. Mine does this as well.

....Funnily enough I did exactly that yesterday. I've now stuffed my Hella DRL little booklet in there and it's stopped the rattle - More like the buzz of an angry bee!
