Annoying rattle!

Not the end of the world but a rattle from the dash has established itself.

It seems to come from the plastic air vent on the top of the dash (where the sports chrono clock would be if I had it).

Anyone else suffered this and any ways of getting rid of it?

I had this exact rattle when my car was new. Just pop the cover off using a plastic trim tool and stick a little double sided foam tape around the edge.

I have a similar rattle, highly annoying.
I will go to a dealer, as I am not sure of exact location and I don’t want to break any fastening clips.

Had the same experience as Andy, had a phone call from service manager yesterday explaining the problem, removed the end cover and it is pretty obvious

Sounds like a known problem....what is it that makes it pretty obvious?

When you remove the plastic cover between the dash and door, on the back of that is the emergency Allen key for the sun roof, this comes loose in its mounting.

Ah ok. But I don't have a sunroof!
