    A picture says a thousand words. More than 2 weeks now and no rattling noise over bumps or uneven road surface. Should I send my bill to Toyota??:rockon:

    Looks like a dried out chocolate Pop Tart with mint sprinkles.

    Never would have thought of trying that. ;-)

    They should release a TSB for that, with some paddings hidden from view. Seems like an easy enough fix.

    But we must make noise first just like we did for the blurry A/C display.

    I noticed in a couple threads that it affects the right side of the center console.

    Those of you who have a temporary fix in place should show it to the dealer and perhaps they can re-assemble it using some paddings hidden from view. Adding insulation is frequently done under warranty and this shouldn't be any different.

    No, that was his gas pedal fix. Oh wait, the 2010 wasn't part of that recall.

    I'm gonna try using some clear polyurethane/rubber bumper "feet", hopefully it will be a lot less unsightly.

    ...they could use chunks of the flooring cut out from recalled models!

    Anone figured out a non-visable way to do it. Can the pieces be separated so you can fit something in and then reattach the 2 pieces?
