I have a rattling noise around the glove box area. When it first started happening i thought it was something in the glove box but it seemed a little further back. Has anyone had this problem or can guess at what it is.
Thanks. --------------------  Weekend Warrior-----1998 Celica GT: White Daily Driver----------1997 Celica GT: Blurple |

Mine is rattling a little bit in the same area. I haven't taken things apart to look, but I'm thinking it's either something with the blower motor assembly just loose or the passenger's air bag cartridge loose in its mounts.

Or could it be the cold its about 5-15 degrees out. Well the cold will make all kinds of stuff rattle, because as metal gets colder it contracts, so it opens up some of the tolerances. My old Prelude's sunroof would rattle like hell when it was below 40 degrees, above that it was fine. I'm guessing whatever is rattling isn't serious if it's in the interior. Either way, always a good idea to tighten things up, old cars work things loose and parts start to rattle and vibrate. -------------------- 1999 Celica GT

check the cover of the passenger airbag, mine used to rattle, i think a few other people have had the same issue, i stuck some pieces of black rubber in each corner and it stopped it.

There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Mine has developed about 5 or 6 new rattles this week since the weather hit single digits. I'm just gonna ride it out and hope that it returns to normal with the temps.

My car rattles too when its cold out I'm talking single digits and lower too I notice it coming from the blower motor (behind glove box) but once my car warms up it stops so I'm guessing its normal and it only happens during winter.
