I have this rattling in my dash, (I think) near the right middle vent, to the right of the instrumental panel. It seems like there is a wire is not tied up and it is hitting the plastic dash. You could hear it when you go over bumps, uneven roads, and sometimes even when the roads are nicely paved.

Is it easy to remove the vents or I should tell my dealer about it when I go in for my first oil change? They won't cause more rattling noises, will they?

 

I would say you minues well have them do it when you take it in... its just easier that way to me... plus if you break anything you will have to pay for a new one.. if they break it .. then they will pay. Thats just my opinion.

 

Do you have a gen 1 or gen 2?

 

Personally, I won't let anyone at the dealership touch my car again... if they break it, they just cover it up. Likely you will get out of there with more problems than you came in with. YMMV of course but around here I don't trust them to change a lightbulb.

 

haha... yeah I guess you could be right... With my previous car I had no problems at the Honda dealership... they always did an awesome job. I havnt been to the toyota dealership to have anything done... so who knows.. I guess it all just dpends on the dealership.

 

I have the exact same rattle as you. near the right middle vent. Infact if I just apply a small amount of pressure with my hand to the trim going around the vents/stereo I can remove the rattle or atleast minimize it. I am going to take a closer look at what may be causing it when I pull the stereo/nav out soon to hook up my sirius.

 

I have the gen 2.

Keep us updated about you hook up your sirius. The rattling gets irritating.
