I have a slight rattle from this area at around 2400rpm. Most folks can't hear it when I mention it, so I think I am just oversensitised to it smile

I have a digital workshop manual, but can't find anythign that mentions how this comes off. I haven't looked at it either - anyone had a reason to remove theirs?

I had a rattle there also. Took it to vx within a few weeks of owning. And the engineer fixed it. Turns out there is a label on the inside of the headlining just there and peels away and gives a rattleing sound on the plastic.
So he just took mine out, and has been quiet ever since

Tried today - came off with a bit more resistance than I was expecting, but it was a doddle with those video instructions.

Removed it and have stuck a paper towel in behind the unit. A posh one - not supermarket own brand wink

Will see if that makes any differnce.
