Is it the panel across the bottom of the windscreen? They are notorious for it.
Solution is to remove it, and place some fairly stiff foam under, then replace. You then have to do it again about four years later as the foam turns to dust......

Dreadful design.

If it's the whole dash, you have some sort of vibration problem. Get engine mounts and tyre/wheel balance checked first.

The buckle will make the whole car vibrate, and the steering badly.

I'd get it replaced or balanced out.
