I solved this issue today.

I removed the radio surround, starting in the lower right corner of the panel.

I unbolted the 4 10mm bolts and removed the radio - wow, a lot of plugs.

Then I shimmed all of the plastic between where the radio would have been, and the vents above it to add pressure between all the panels. I used cardboard and surplus 1/8"TH Dynaliner as shims.

Upon replacing the radio, I stuffed a couple sheets of cardboard between the radio and plastic between the radio and vents, again to add some pressure. After reinstalling the radio and snapping the surround back into place, there are no more rattles from this area of my car.

Win.
