Rattling passenger dashboard

Any suggestions please on possible cause of consistent rattle to right of passenger speaker.
Sounds like something loose as rattle only when mobile.
Have removed as much of dash area screws to try and get at offending area including removing speaker but area that seems to contain rattle is not accessible ! sounds like loose nut/bolt but can't get into bulkhead area frustratingly
Any thoughts gratefully received

If it sounds like the rattle is behind the dash it could still be the hinge as it's hard to replicate when the cars not moving. If the bar that goes through the plastic shim on the hinge is touching the hook that is mounted to the body or looks very close then it could be the culprit Ray

The bracket on the heat shield onto the back of the turbo snaps. Mine made a rattle that you'd swear blind was from the dash. Take it off and give it a test drive
