Annoying vibration/rattle coming from plastic speedo cover

Hi all,

This is my first post so please excuse my lack of knowledge.

I have had my Seat Leon for around 2 years, and within the last 6 months, an annoying buzz/rattle is coming from the plastic infront of the dials.I know this is where it's from because when i press my finger on the plastic, it stops vibrating and the audible buzz disappears.

Is there any way to stop this? I am not good mechanically with cars so fixing it myself would be difficult unless it's a simple fix.

Thanks guys. Please see the below image, which points to where it comes from.

Lower your steering column and put lets say folded black micro fibre cloth at the rear of the column under the binnacle and then lift the column back up so it presses up against the underneath of the binnacle and lock it back into place and that will stop it.
Just to add you csn unclip the binnacle and put some felt behind it and refit if your wanted or able to.
