hi all! I have a small little problem with my Polo that is driving me crazy! It is a rattle in the centre console when i drive over sharpish ridges in the road (sort of a loud cracking noise...if that makes sense...

. And yes, i can take it to the dealer, but frankly i am not in the mood for the hassle. I believe i will be able to sort it myself if i can just figure out how to remove the binnacle on top of the centre airvents (that is where the rattle comes from). Can anyone help with the how to? Please.
Secondly...i was wondering if anyone knows where the cabin filter is located and how one accesses it??
Thanks in advance!
