Default Rattle under console

Anyone have an annoying rattle under the console panel? Two possible sources that I've located.
Remove the console, look on the side of the cig lighter at the front of the panel. There is a 15 torx holding a small spring that can rattle against the torx screw if not snug(built friday afternoon late). This opens the cig lighter cover.
2. The emergency brake switch can rattle in its mount, it just snaps into the holder which is screwed into the console cover from behind. The holder is dead solid but the switch can vibrate like crazy in the holder. Finally peace and quite going down the back roads.

Ha would love to come up! Not happening anytime soon though. You guys got some of the best motorcycling roads in the country, been awhile since my last visit up there.
My C7 is the most rattle free car I've ever had NOW. And, its a 2014.
