Fuel Door Button Rattle

Fuel Door Button Rattle
My fuel door push button release rattles when I hit a rough section, bump or something else on the road. It is not the door, it is the button mechanism.
Ive had these button releases on previous bikes w/ no issues.
It appears to be mostly plastic with maybe some metal parts inside, not something I can open up & lube w/ grease.
Yeah... not a big deal but I can hear it so I need to see if I can quieten it down.
Suggestions ?

I know what you mean, no big deal but damn irritating, after my first 50 miles I heard mine rattle above 3000 Rpm, took me a day or two to figure our what it was so took it out of the fuel door to see if I could tighten the spring or something.
Didn't see how I could do anything to it though, tried turning the button to unscrew it and few other things but thought I better just put it back before I end up buying a replacement and just put it back in but now for some reason it doesn't rattle except once I noticed but i didn't have the fuel door completely shut I think.
I can't say I fixed it but it's not rattling at least for the last 700 mi I hadn't noticed it.
If you figure something out let me know please I doubt it stays quiet forever.
PS, Great Shields got a 7" & a 9" from ya for my SGS
