I’ve taken off the panel at my RH knee next to the OBD plug but the rattle is still there.
Next I will look at airbag as suggested. But owners shouldn’t be worrying about this on a new 30k plus car......or is this more common than I thought??

the driver knee airbag rattle is fairly common, I had it and it bugged the hell out of me. VW messed me around so i fixed it myself with bits of foam carefully placed.
I've also had the rear view mirror, sun visor, a-pillar and seat beat adjuster rattles, all successfully (touch wood) fixed with anti-rattle felt or foam/sponge.
My latest which has appeared is the bottom of the front doors where the speaker is, buzzing like crazy over virtually all surfaces.

I complained about rattling doors when I took mine in for a service. They reportedly tightened the bolts on the speakers, as they'd shaken themselves loose!  :laugh: It's now got worse again, maybe I will pop the door panel off and put some loctite on there
