    When I am driving usually above 20 or so I can hear a rattle in the back of the car. Not exactly sure where it is coming from? It sounds kind of metal-ly. Any ideas?

    I have an 2005 Prius with less than 1k miles.

    - make sure your rear seats are locked in the upright position
    - check the rear luggage area and make sure nothing's floating around back there
    - make sure the tonneau cover bracket is in place

    if that doesn't work, and nothing is loose elsewhere in the car (soda bottle or whatever) take it back to the dealer. 1k is a very new car.

    Check both the tray under the back floor, and underneath it; maybe your spare is loose.

    Thanks. I went back there and checked, and appearantly one of the back seats was back, but not far for it to lock. So hopefully that was it.. we will find out tomorrow :)

    My rear cargo cover used to rattle a bit. I used blue wall puddy around the inside of the holder. Never a problem since....... :D

    To all theaters, or just a select?
