Dash rattle

[MountainBiker]

Just to document the probelm more, I also have this "squeak" behind the airbag in my 04 Extended Cab. It is loud and annoying. I don't have time to go to the dealer, so I will probably try some of the home-fixes listed here.

You'll likely find that is a lot more than just behind the airbag! Good luck.

Every Toyota document I've read states that this issue is only covered under the 36k comprehensive warranty. My 04 is at 41k. Does the SSB apply after 36K?

I don't know what duration warranty is needed to cover that SSB. I have a 100K warranty but my friend told me what to tell the service writer when I was around 20K.

I have the same warranty Blake, but this is only under the original warranty, not extended. I was over by a couple 100 miles when I remembered to ask them and it was a no go.

Did they ever give you a price quote for fixing the noise? Not that I want to pay it, but just curious as to what they are asking. I'm going to make an attempt at getting them to fix it. What do I have to lose? I'll let you all know how it pans out.

The standard time for the fix (set by Toyota) is ~6 hours. But my dealership wrote down about 10 hours to complete the job.

Okay I'm happy to report that I fixed my rattle/squeak after tearing in my dash/stereo/glove box for the 3rd time!!!!:ar15:

My rattle was not coming from the dash. It was coming from a loosen phillip screw that holds EMC computer bracket.

Never mind the rest nest but its the phillip screw on the far right that was loosen. It make a squeeky sound every time I hit bump or traveled at hwy speeds.

I hate tearing in the dash area because its all plastic and the more you tear it up no matter how gentle you are, its gona loosen with time.
