Default Dash Rattle

My C5 has a dashboard rattle behind the driver's side. As the car heats up it reduces and will stop when on the freeway. Around town it is loud enough to be annoying.
Have any of you had this issue?

I have a vibration rattle in the front and center of mine. Unfortunately, I think you and I are going to have to pull the dash apart to find the problem. Mine sounds like a screw has come loose somewhere. Good luck to you sir.

Many times rattles telegraph sound to other locations. I had wicked rattle on my C3 and was about to pull dash. By accident found it was visor vanity mirror door. Check less obvious areas. Good luck.

Lens on my instrument panel rattles against the plastic housing. Inserted a small o ring into the space between them. Stopped it.
