Loose Heat Shield
So the past couple of weeks, I've noticed a small rattle seemingly coming from the center dash console (with the radio, air vents, etc). Upon further inspection I noticed that it's actually due to the engine compartment heat shield being a little loose. This is the second time I've experienced this problem, as the dealer fixed it the first time.
Anyone else had this happen? It's a small issue but the rattle is annoying.

Well i do have the problem with rattling inside the car but it's caused by loose brake lining cable touching the driveshaft, it happen twice and it has been fixed twice too. The rattling is more noticeable around the gearbox area and strangely when the engine is warmed up and yes the rattle is very annoying
