Exclamation Dash Rattle Fix?

I have a Dash Rattle that's getting on my nerves. Does anyone know how to fix it. Its seems to be coming behind the plastic on RPM meter.

If you are like me you don't want a dealer messing with the dash, door panels, anything like that because I feel that once they mess with it, it is bound to rattle worst. What I do when I have a rattle (maybe not the safest thing to do while driving) is to locate where I think it is and start pushing, moving things in that area to see if I can make it stop, this way I know if it is something loose from not fitting right or it is something behind there that I can't reach. Hope this makes sense. If you do trust your dealer with fixing rattles then go for it.

This is a very common rattle and even the dealership get's it right. Mine started on day 2, fixed on day 3 and no issues since. The dealers are aware of it.

Is there a TSB on this? Does anyone know how to actually take the Dash off?
