I had one... It was a little plastic bit on the passenger seat folding-forward hinge. There's a little plastic cover at the top of the hinge, about 1cm wide, that seems to perform no other purpose other than to rattle. ;)

Get someone to poke at it while you're driving, and see if the noise stops when they hold it.

There's also the bonnet-holder-upper. This can rattle when clipped down.

Or the retractible seatbelt stuff behind the plastic panel.

Or the high centre brake light assembly.

Life's just one big rattle for my FTO! Or maybe it's because mine gets thrown around every 3-4 weeks on motorkhana days!!! :D
