Yaris rattle - s61sw
My wife's 2002 Toyota Yaris has developed a plasticky rattling noise from the top of the dashboard (passenger side). It seems to come from the airbag cover, and seems to decrease if you press down on the cover (tricky to do whilst driving...). Does anyone know if there could be a clip or bracket or something that'a come lose? and more importantly, is the airbag likely to 'go off'?
Thanks in advance for any advice

Possibly not the same, but the door lock plungers rattle on my wife's Yaris.

Yes, my RAV also ratle. The RAV is always known as the Rattler car!

Toyota uses cheap palstic parts, I'm afraid when you comapre with other German cars.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
