W211 E220 CDI -07
Rattle on passenger side

Hi, been trying to find a source for this rattle in my W211 without success.
It seems to come somewhere behind glove box but very difficult to locate accurately. It can be heard mostly on low speeds and driving on rough tarmac surface but not on bumps etc.
I was wondering if this was caused by the windshield based on the sharp noise? At least it's not any part of dashboard or the glove compartment lid.
Any ideas? Video related

I have the same issue on my w211 E500. Haven't figured out the source so curious to know what others have found.
