    So, my 14 C2 has this persistent rattle from the glove box hinge. It's that single plastic hinge extender for smoothly opening the glove box. I've taken it out and re-settled it into the box socket but the rattle is starting again when going over bumps... Is it just mine?

    Even the tinniest rattles becomes amplified in this quiet semi- electric car... I'm surprised TOY didn't sort it out by now...

    I thought there was a dealer fix Toyota was doing for this?
