Pretty happy Polo GTI 2018 owner here - but boy has this car had a large number of small issues!
Most have been fixed over time with the dealer but the main issue is this rattle appearing on my passenger side near the air vent.
My red plastic in certain temperatures will 'flex' from movement of the plastic when driving which makes quite an annoying/frustrating noise. I know it's the red plastic because it makes the same noise when pressed. (I've already had the handbrake rattle fixed and it's not associated with acceleration etc like the Soundaktor issue seems to be).

I've already had the dealer look at it but they aren't hugely helpful. Honestly it makes driving around very unpleasant because even with music playing, it is quite loud and frustrates me that something is designed so cheaply. My partner drives a 2012 Mazda 3, and such is life with a VW, their car has zero quality issues or noises.
Anyone had any idea with how to fix this, inc DIY? I'll take it back to the dealer if there's something I can tell them. It's such a frustrating issue!
Cheers
