Default Dash rattle '11

I recently purchased a certified pre owned 11 350 AWD and am noticing a dash rattle on the drivers side. It seems to be on the dash above the tachometer. If I apply pressure(w my hand) it seems to go away.

I know rattles come in all shapes and sizes but where would you start?

Here's a night pic: Only had it a few weeks.

This is what I have done so far.
20/10 Tint
6K Low Beam Headlights
LED Parking Lights

Quick question: By replacing the HID low beam bulb do I lose the headlight turning adjustment feature. It doesn't appear to work now.

Thinking about Plastidipping the AWD GS350 emblem

Thanks for any heads up!

stick a rag in the gap between the windshield and the dashboard.

don't stick it in all the way though. Let part of the rag hang out while diagnosing.

Sounds like a warranty issue to me. I would bring it back to the dealer.
