Default Rattle from the passenger side dashboard

Hi all !
anyone with a 'rattleproblem' in the same area ?
It seems to come from the area around the speaker/triangular window
Sounds like a dull ticking of the plastic everytime i hit the smallest bump.
If a solution is available or someone has already consulted his dealer about this, please let me know...

Kind regards !

Same problem, same area only mine's worse. It's all over the dash and center consol. Not the central arm rest compartment. No luck with the dealer.

That's the problem with rattles and the source of all my frustration and protest. Dealers usually do little to resolve rattle noises and if they fix any, those usually come back, sometimes even worse.

You know, I decided to not get the Prius NAV because of its quality, it's a personal choice, no big deal, also was frustrated for a while about the 5K oil change interval (OCI) whereas it should make perfect sense for Toyota to change it to 10K, but I got over that one too; however, the rattle noises will be hard to get over because it is there all the time and it appears to be aggravating.

It would be interesting to know how many would delay their Prius purchase if they knew that they were going to get a vehicle that is going to have lots of creaks and rattle on their dashboard or console.

I do a lot of long distance driving (6-8hrs) non stop to visit relatives regularly and I know that I will get aggravated if I am constanly hearing noises. (heh heh, lucky my wife does not do that :-)

I don't have them so I guess I am glad. The little minor ones I have corrected myself with Adhesive Felt pads and Mini rubber bumpers.

I have it as well, fyi.

I'm going to be taking the door panels off soon (JDM mirror install), and I'll let you know how that goes.

i think it's the dashboard itself because when my passenger presses on the dash, the clack goes away...
