Things to check
(1) Have you checked for any loose panels underneath the dash?
(2) Have you checked to see if the noise is coming from the actual footwell / driver's door area?
(3) Check if the door pockets are not making the noise (try and drive with it pulled out).
(4) Check the centre console in case it has something that has fallen down the front of it.

Was there a recall on kick panel hold down? I vaguely remember reading about it ... could have been another model.

No, I don't play soccer!
suraj, I had speakers where the kick panels are so I had a different kind of rattle going on, a desireable one I never heard of any recall on the kick panels. Maybe someone else can provide more info or a link. Sorry. I hope you find the cause for sanity's sake.

the door trim above the window around the b pillar. Its a piece of trim that runs the whole width of the door along the seal...
i pulled it off, put some grease inside it and replaced it, and now the car is tomb quiet!!!!!

oh bollocks!
so that rattle came back....BUT i finally figured out where it was coming from!!!!!!!
its coming from the plastic inner molding on the door that covers the screw holding the wing mirrors...
there was a loose clip for the mold panel...managed to press it back into shape. rattle free once again!!!
Will take photos and put them up this afternoon....
