Thanks! I opened up the center console yesterday evening and I grease all the moving part associated with the console door, including a metal clip on the left of the console frame. I drove it and seems like the "chirping" is gone. If it doesn't happen in a week, I'll know it's gone. I'm gonna open up my left door this weekend and see if I can fix it.

The chirping is driving me crazy. I've already replaced the factory stereo, though, and had to make a custom face plate, etc. I figure the dealer is going to blame it on that. Nice to know someone else had the issue.

Lets really see what the % of tC's with rattle problems is. Whether it be sunroof or otherwise, vote n post up. I'm sure we'd all like to know for real how widespread this problem is.

Rattle free, scratch and dent free. No hissing noises, no ABS malfunctions and absolutely no spots on the roof. :D

Lucky you!

The spots on the roof are actually embedded in the glass as an artifact of the UV treatment given to the glass. You'll see these on most new cars, so I'm not sweating that.

But man, these other things

Scion could have a really killer car for this market segment if they had a bit more QA before these things go out the door. Disappointing, really.
