Yes I rattle too.
Yes...I have creaks and rattles as well...
I agree it must be a design fault with the GTI in particular....but hey I still love the car. And I would rather a few little rattles and creaks than a boring car with no character.
My car is nearly out of warranty now...The rattles are not too bad so I think I can live with them....Turn the radio up!!

I've had a rattle in the rear left of my GTI, up somewhere near the back window/pillar.
Its more of a creak than a rattle actually. It only started about a month after I bought the car and is progressively getting worse. (I've had the car almost 4 months)
Took it in for complementary inspection, they changed the rear seat striker plate (whatever that is) and it was still creaking.
Took it again today as they said they needed a full day to diagnose and fix the problem. I get a call about 1pm saying they've pulled all the panels out and checked everything and they can't find the cause of the problem. They've spoken to VWA and asked them to diagnose the problem and tell them how to fix it.
The service manager said he thinks it might be a poor weld in the wheel arch panel or something along those lines.
So now I have to take it back again. Not happy.
This is the third time my car has been back to the dealer - finally they have found the problem after having it since Thursday morning. (They were going back and forth with VWA trying to diagnose the issue).
Apparently the problem is a part in the suspension - dealer mentioned something about where the shock absorber meets the body. Anyway they have ordered the part and it should be arriving tomorrow so I should get the Polo back tomorrow afternoon, hopefully with no more rattles thank god.

Shock top mounts are common for this as are Bora and Golf 4. All suffered the same noise and fix
Hope it fixes yours
