Yaris 1.0 Dashboard Rattle

[mattie.smith]

I have recently purchased a 1 year old Yaris 1.0.

I like the car a lot, but am really annoyed by the rattling

of the dashboard on the passenger side.

Has anyone else had this problem.

If so how was it remedied.

I have been driving for about 45 years and driven

many cars, but have never had this problem.

Yes - I did go out with a Toyota mechanic to

listen to the rattle.

But of course it didn't happen at the time.

Hope someone can help.

I'm guessing this is an interior dash rattle in the passenger corner?

Pop out the passenger speaker grill in the dash, now where the dash plastic meets the A-pillar plastic there is a lip, if you tap the bottom of the A-pillar it taps against this lip, a small piece of foam can be slid in the gap to stop this. Secondly if the rattle is metal sounding, in the same location, unscrew the speaker and carefully remove it. Then if you look inside the gap, there are screws holding the dash to the front of the car. These come loose over time so tighten every screw you can see through the gap, also tighten the speaker screws when you replace the speaker.
