Hi. Just want to say my 2002 RAV4 has the same freakin' dash rattle!! It is much worse when cold outside but is audible most all the time. I have had the dealer perform the TSB's, but nothing has fixed it yet.
Today, I test-drove a Toyota Matrix (2004), thinking I may trade my RAV because of this annoying rattle, and what did I hear in the 2004 Matrix but the SAME RATTLE coming from the dash!!!!! So, I started looking on Google tonight and saw you guys have posted about your Tacomas' dash rattle, and I also read about Lexus owners having the same problem with a dash rattle (Lexus is made by Toyota).
My car is a 2002, and it is still happening in the 2004 RAVS. There is a long thread about the 2004 RAVs with this problem at
