Interior Rattle / Vibration

[Tarekith]

Also, while you don't NEED them, I'd recommend getting some car panel tools to make popping some of them plastic fasteners a little easier.

Well unfortunately that didn't fix my rattle. Took the door apart today and did all that and the rattle remains over certain bumps.

Previously did you notice it went away when the window is down? I can't tell if the rattle is my seat belt or window.

was there with window down or up. Even if window was down and I was holding onto the glass the rattle was there. I even removed my back seats completely the other day to test.

I feel like it’s coming from the seatbelt area as it sounds like a metal ting and it’s near my ear.

that could be where mine is also - since I took the door apart and still had the noise even after doing the window track stuff. Not sure what’s even behind the seat belt panel that could make such a noise

It’s weird, mine is frequent but wouldn’t say consistent. Like if I make left hand turn over an uneven surface it can raddle. Also if close the door firmly you can hear it slightly too.

much the same here - except haven’t heard it when closing doors. The right bumpy road will cause it to happen often but not always. Used my phone recording app to record it while driving when having my phone in different areas and seemed to be loudest from front driver area. Could barely hear it from back seat and from rear cargo area couldn’t hear it at all.

I was able to snag a video of when I close the door.

Hmmm could be the same. I’m waiting for warmer temps to pull the panels off around the seat belt (tons of snow lately here).

I have the same rattle, mostly at highway speeds. If I wedge my fingers between the door frame and B pillar I can get the rattle to go away.

Same here. It comes and goes though. I'm hoping that enough people complain to Toyota about it that they come up with an official TSB. The dealerships near me suck at troubleshooting rattles.

Mines quiet on highway speeds. It more with turns and uneven pavement

I tried that fix and it didn’t help at all. Mine mostly happens on bumpy roads and not on the highway as well.
