    Does anyone have information on the location of dash retaining bolts for generation 1 Tachoma. I have about 1/4 inch play in left side, creating vibration and rattle. Have not been able to find any fasteners that are loose under there.

    Hey Ken. I had the same issue but on the passenger side. I finally fixed mine by putting about a 12" piece of weather stripping between the inside window and dash. You can't even really see it.

    Thanks Ben. I followed your recommendation and forced a strip of foam weatherstripping between the windshield and dash with a plastic trim tool. Dash is now tight and doesn’t rattle.
