center speaker rattle

hey guys... dunno if this is the right section or not (mods, move it if it's not)

i'm beginning to notice a bit of a rattle coming from the center speaker (i have bose... dunno if that matters, but it's the speaker right in the middle of the dash, behind the NAV screen).
anyone else experienced this problem/got a fix for it? I'm guessing the dealer won't fix it for me under warranty, right?

just seems like a fitment issue... if you push down on the center speaker area, you can feel it pop into and out of place (most likely causing the rattle that we all know and love). maybe if i could find something to discretely slide into that crease, the rattle would stop and i wouldn't even have to mess with the dealer?

any ideas, boys and girls?

It does sound like a blown speaker , but the dealer said ther was nothing wrong ! I just turn down the radio/cd and redline it ! It's amazing how fast I forget the problem !!!!!!
