Rattle/knocking noise top center dash (Spyder)

Anyone experience a knocking or lower pitch rattle noise coming from the center back of the dash (close to windshield)? Seems to be coming from behind where the clock is (maybe below speaker grill). Happens at any speed and even small bumps at low speed. I’ve tried pushing on the panels to isolate but it seems to be something underneath the dash. Driving me crazy. Anyone experience this or know how to get a peak inside this dash area?

at first I also thought it was the chrono sport, by pressing it the noise stopped. I then rode as a passenger, taking the time to analyze everything. and since I blocked the cup holder with foam, no more vibration. I had exactly the same vibration with my 981 ... which made me say that it was not an assembly problem but rather a common part with the 718.
So, which side cup holder and how did you do this, can you share? I rarely/never use these, and it would be nice to banish the rattle...

If you take the SC clock trim off, there is a sensor right at the back which is for the AC. It can come off its clips and rattle against the bulkhead.
Also, try opening the glovebox and drive the car and see if the rattle is still there. If it stops, it's the cup holders. Just slam the glove box shut and it will go away. You can take the cup holders out which take about 10 mins.
