Default Rattles!

Hey all,

I would really appreciate some ideas on this issue..

Kind of a bummer as my 2012 xB is only 6 months old,

I'm getting some annoying consistent rattles in the interior that happen over regular road surfaces (pretty much anything except very smooth pavement).

1. Isolated from the passenger-front visor. The joint squeaks very badly. If I leave the visor down this solves the problem.. but that's a little annoying.

2. Somewhere in the rear passenger side.. probably the oh-sh** handle or the seatbelt? On another note are those little seatbelt clips actually supposed to do anything? They don't seem to be able to hold on to it at all..

I hate to go into the dealership for something so minor..

Thanks!

Not sure if this is whats going on but I had a rattle for around 1 yr on my 2010. I finally found it was the license plate. A little weatherstripping on the back of the plate worked.

i think is a well known issue - it might be your windshield creaking.

Even for a minor issue Scion definitely recommends taking the vehicle to the dealer, especially if under warranty, to take advantage of the warranty period. I don't have any suggestions or known concerns from HQ but can definitely recommend to take the vehicle to the dealer. ^AP
