    We just purchased a 2013 prius and we now notice a Slight Rattle in the Dash close to the windshield. Is this a known problem with the 2013 year? Has anyone else had this problem? If yes, did you come up with a solution that prevents this noise?

    Thanks for any help.

    Fixed . . . I just needed to clean the outside shroud below the windshield.

    How did cleaning something stop a rattle?

    My guess (& only a guess) would be a "Tree/Twig" or similar laying out of site......been/there, done/that......
