dash rattle?

[Frank Necrosis]

I have an annoying rattle the came from the right side of the dash. Turns out it was the cover of the USB port making the noise. Still trying to come up with a cure. The cover might be removed with a pair of scissors.

I am going to have to check out the USB port cover. I know that the right hand side is where the loudest rattles come from but I don't know how such a small, soft cover could be making that much noise. Interested in finding out.

To the OP, it took me a few days but I noticed that the metal on the seat belts were bumping on the side pillars of the doors. If you can tuck them into the seam between the seat and frame tight enough that cures some of the more annoying rattles.

I too have a rattle at the right side of the dash. It's a 2007 Yaris. I do not know whether an USB port can be the cause? The problem is that the rattle itself sounds very 'plastic' and it seems to come from somewhere behind the glove compartment? When I am outside of the car I too hear the same noise, but a bit more 'iron'-like ... when checking underneath the bonnet I did not hear anything for about 10 minutes and nothing seems to be loose, worn or broken....? I am a bit confused now ....

Kind regards,
