Center Console Trim Rattle - New 2010 Tacoma

All,

I have the normal (but annoying) dash rattles that everyone here seems to have. They come and go and I will get to them eventually (since the dealership cannot duplicate it in order to fix it). However, the center console trim (that surrounds the shifter - automatic) rattles and the edge closest to the dash. I have had the dealership fix this twice and it comes back a day or two later.

Anyone else have this issue? How are you fixing it?

Does anyone here also have a list of dash rattles and fixes? The dealership has done a great job on getting me the new TSB leaf springs and has a blower motor on order for me, so I figure I will do them a favor now and fix these on my own.

Any help is greatly appreicated!

 

Looking to fix this today. Anyone else have this price/fix?

 

On mine(manual) there is a felt strip in this area when i took mine out to run my audio cables. See if this is the area where it contacts, but in reality the dealership should be helping since you could break a clip attempting this.

Also lift up the carpet plastic piece inside the center console storage box and make sure the bolts are tight, sometimes being lose can transfer to the whole piece.

 

Turn up the radio or crack a window! Both free fixes!!! Its a truck not a luxury car!!!

 

You're cool with paying for 100k mile warranty and having rattles?

 

100,000 mile warranties don't cover interior rattles! Read your warranty!! Interiors are made of metal and plastic which expand and contract at different rates! I work on cars for a living and it amazes me how people will bitch about something when they think they can get it for free but magically live with it when they need to PAY to have it fixed!! It then becomes NO BIG DEAL!! Customers are a PAIN IN THE ASS!!!! GEt it fixed before your 3/36 warranty cause any rattles after that will be on your dime!!!

 

Back the F off.....I am under my 36k mile warranty. I am only at 20k miles.

To calm your ass down here...I am asking HOW I CAN fix it. Read my post again....take a Zanex and have a beer.....

 

Like I said in my original post......turn the radio up or crack a window!!!

 

That's not very nice...

 

A little touchy aye? I did not read anywhere the op was whining or complaining. But was asking if there is a fix. This forum has become a bashing site.

 

It's all GOOD toojayz.........some people can't handle being called out or being told the truth!! By the way thanks for the tip ShaneHD...........Zanex and beer were good!!!!! hahahahahah!!!!!!

 

I offered a FREE fix......he chose to start complaining about it!! What am I missing here??? Once again just stating FACTS!!! Guess you and ShaneHD are pretty thin skinned!!! But then again I'm still on the Zanex and Beer influences!!!! hahahahaha

 

1BADHD,

Please leave this thread. Your input is not longer needed. Thank you.

 

Perfect! Felt strip will be your best bet.

 

maybe by using small squares of stop-draft (adhesive foam to seal windows) where you think the rattle is? There are pretty thin rolls of this stuff at your local home depot.
