Your best bet would be to remove the pod and check to make sure that all the mounting points are still in good condition, no broken tabs, etc. Once you have it out, give it a gentle shake to make sure there's no broken parts inside. Have there been any drastic change in temperatures? That could also be a cause for some rattles and squeeks. Also, take a ride with the pod removed, and see if the rattle persists. It could be coming from the dashboard in the area of the pod, and not the pod itself.

Report back with what you find, that could help us narrow down the possible causes for you.

+1...it is really easy to take apart...MACarbon has instructions for swapping to a carbon wart here:

I bet it is the metal clip that's rattling...if your dealership won't deal with it, you can pull it out (pretty easy) and replace the clips...
