Default Plastic "buzz" on Drivers Side

My car (03) has developed an annoying "plastic buzz" ( rattle) somewhere on the drivers side near the air vent.

Anyone had a similar "buzz" ?

Thanks

Mine has one somewhere left of the shoulder guide for the seatbelt. It's not the seat, but somewhere behind a plastic body panel. Annoying as hell.

My car's turned into a helluva rattle trap after this summer, especially when the temp is in the mid-low 70's or lower:
Top (hard and soft) squeak & pop along windshield, Shin-Etsu helps slightly.
Passenger side seat squeaks when when occupied or not.
Rattle near driver's seat shoulder belt guide
Rattle in engine compartment (not RPM dependent).

I've got a bunch of rattles. Drivers door near the window seal, drivers side seatbelt lock, seat rails, center consol compartment, underside creaking. But I still love my car like no other.

I had something like that and it turned out to be in the roll hoop. Took me forever to take care of that one.

The plastic buzz near the drivers side that sounds like it is comming from the vent/inside the dash could likely be your rear view mirror. There was a post before about this
