Matrix: Rattles & Squeaks

csmatrix

I have an 05 Toyota Matrix XR and I'm having problems with sqeaks and rattles. I'm especially hearing the noises from the rear of the car every time I drive on rough pavement.

Do you store anything in the hatch area under the cargo cover. The area is hard plastic and anything hard (plastic or metal) will rattle as you drive. I had something stored there and removed it because I couldn't stand the rattling. I'm trying to figure out a solution now because I have quite a few things to store there. Hope that helps!

I wrap anything I put in those compartments in bubble shipping wrap. Works like a charm!

Good idea! I think I'll get some bubble wrap, fold it and tape up the sides to make storage bags. That way I can store different types of stuff in the bags. (I'm an organizing freak...) Thanks for the tip

I found out there was a bolt in my sunroof that came a loose and started rattling.

I have a 2007 Matrix XR with 4,000 miles. A frequent but not constant rattling noise comes from behind the gauge view area. Thoughts and/or recommendations are appreciated?

I had this one to for the longest time. Not sure what the hell it was but it eventually stopped. This could be due to the fact that I moved from NorCal to SoCal (Cold to Warm) and I have taken off the gauge paneling once to disconnect the beeping on the reverse.

This rattling and squeaking is uncommon in toyota products but it seems in particular that the toyota celica, and matrix suffers from the rattles and squeaks , and quality issues. Even the new camry is getting toward the bad quality side.

How about a description of how you disconnect that bell? Thanks!
