This was reported on here a little while ago. Mine rattles aswell, and does drive you mad!! Apparently, it gets worse and falls out eventually. New ones are about £20.

Super glue, just a dab.

Covered under warrentee, mine did the same, the little tabs break off and badge falls out. There is a repair kit which includes better secured badge and two plastic parts at the bottom of the wheel.
