could be something in there.

is it a metallic clank, or a plastic rattle?

Are you sure it isn't coming from around the guage cluster (in front of or behind). Many people have reported this and your dealer can fix it.

i have a very very annoying rattle coming from the center console by the e-brake...

so muchplastic is gonna rattle, hard to avoid it.

gotta just isolate it and see exactly whats causing it, then you can fix it.

ok well i took my glove compartment out and i found lots of taped wires lol. one bunch wasn't strapped on to anywhere and was located next to the plastic covering where you put your foot when you sit down. i think that was the source of all the rattle. wires hitting plastic.
