mine drives me feckin crazy, only option is either as viceroy says get girlfriend in car or turn the tunes up
Mine started doing it two weeks after getting the car, so I had new runners fitted. Its doing it again now. 
Clio 1.6 16V
Its not just a problem on the 172! My 1.6 also has the same problem. Reno have changed the runners twice but it still rattles. I had the runners replaced on my 172 and it has been fine since (lucky). I think Reno have tolerance problems between their seats/runners. Ive recently adopted a new driving position with my left hand on the passenger seat bolster!! LOL
sad thing is i too have adopted the hold on to the side of the passenger seat position! esp if going over speed bumps.....think i will go see renault this week and see what their monkeys can do about it
