Had been noticing a metallic/plastic rattle from right front passenger seat area. Of course, this was hard to find while driving alone. It had been getting progressively worse, but also still intermittent.
Yesterday, I noticed that the Bose branding tag on the right front speaker grill was loose. Flicked it a bit w/ my finger and sure sounded like the noise I had been hearing.Tucked a little piece of cloth behind it, and rattle is gone. -- Thank goodness..

Now just need to work a permanent fix, have an appointment at the dealer on Monday for service anyway, will ask them about it -- otherwise I am thinking a couple drops of locktite on it, let it cure, and job done.
Thought I woudl share in case anyone else has this issue.

Thanks for the heads-up, I hate squeaks and rattles in my cars, you can only beat on the top of the dash so many times.

Was at dealer yesterday -- parts now on order (entire interior door panel needed to fix). May be a while for parts...meanwhile, small pieces of cardboard tucked behind both sides of the emblem...rattle gone.

Parts have arrived, appointment a week from Monday (my choice, since vacation intervened) for the fix. Will let you all know.
