Having said that, ten years in and I don't find my Yaris making all that much noise. Mostly the back spare cover when going over really rough terrain, as well as little bit of bouncing from that big hard plastic dash.

After removing everything I decided to remove brakelight (Top back window)

There are wires wrapped in thick plastic that was rattling against metal.I ziptied that sucker and issue resolved.

Dash,doors are fixed of rattles and my utility boxes are screwed down (Back where spare tire is)Rear seat delete along with all seatbelt hardware removed.

This was the only other rattle and know the car is rattle/squeeky free besides the side power windows only when rolled down(really bumpy surfaces only).This I can totally live with and can drive annoyance free.

Whodathunkit? Mystery solved. Good for you. Rattles can be annoying.
