Rattle from drinks holder

I’m a newbie here having recently purchased a 2018 Boxster from Porsche Stockport.
It’s a great car but normally has a rattle from around the cup holder area when closed (on opening the cup holder it usually disappears). Is this a common problem and does anyone know a diy fix?
Many thanks in advance.

Common issue. Try opening the glove box and slamming it shut.

Worth getting it looked at under warranty?

Absolutely, you tend to pay a premium buying from an OPC, so the car should have no niggles. But then welcome to the OPC experience🤯
