I'm taking the service manager at Osborne Park VW for a drive after work today for him to hear the rattle. He would have happily ordered the part for me after we emailed i think, very helpful. Under warranty! All good, looks like our fix is in place :)
I think I have noticed it now, only sometimes. It is a very tinny, coil like kinda rattle. Like rice in a tin????!!
Are there any golf owners on this forum that are from the Illawarra, perhaps deal with Wollongong dealer on corrimal street - southern classic cars???

Booked mine in at Paul Wakeling (Campbelltown - NSW) Reply from customer service:
'We currently do not have this part in stock and it is on back order from Germany, however we will need to inspect the car first for warranty purposes before we go ahead and order the part.
Do you want me to keep your booking for Thursday ?
I look forward to your reply.
Many Thanks

Any Brisbane owners explored the issue with Austral or other QLD dealers yet? Keen to know how they treated issue before contacting them.
Thanks
Osborne Park VW have confirmed the rattle and ordered the clip for me on warranty. In about three weeks it will arrive and ill drop the car in to have it fitted. I'm going to get her tinted on the same day... woo!
The service manager confirmed that they did fit the clip a while back for another client- not under warranty. It definitely solves the rattle.

Thanks to everyone who has provided information, researched this issue, and especially those who have spent time visiting dealers and those dealers who took it on themselves to get in the parts and test the fix even before VGA acknowledged it. Cheers.
Thanks by efforts from everyone!
I definitely notice this sound now. Will contact local dealer for fix.
Thanks to all
