Yah, I know all about the roof, but that doesn't stop the interior for rattling and making noise.

I'll post what the dealer says/does about it.

The roof doesn't bother me much at all, since in only creaks when I go over a bump. The constant rattle from the rear is what is driving me crazy because its non-stop.

Ah. Our tC only squeaks when traveling over uneven ground or under heavy load conditions. @ 790 +- miles on the OD I think some chassis stiffening might be in order aside from the torque issue with the bolts in the roof. Just a thought.

The interior noise coming out of my tC eminates from the head unit compartment cover. When you notice the sound, hold onto the cover and see if the noise disappears. If not, then your noise is somewhere else and that just means more things for Scion to fix.

Did you try removing the cargo cover and driving around for a while? I think I heard a rattling coming from mine last night, but it wasn't really loud.

Yes, removing the car cover. Its not the stereo door, becaues its definately coming from the back of the car. Almost like a clip or something is loose.

My stereo door doesn't work anyways. Never worked since the day I picked i up, but haven't had time to bring it back.
