Default Rattle from trunk privacy shield thingy

Hi,

Does anyone else find that the bar that holds the retractable privacy shield for the trunk space rattles? I've isolated one of my rattles to the clicking-mechansim that holds that bar in place. If I remove the bar, rattle on bumps goes away.

For the record, also have rattle on driver's side (roughly B-pillar) as described by others in another post, and occasional squeak from both side rear door panels.

(RX450h)

Mine had that rattle. I removed the privacy shield. I don't need it, since I never use the luggage cover, or whatever it's called.

It's a tonneau cover.

i noticed the luggage cover rattle as well, i guess the reason is that the connecting areas are all hard plastic.

i removed mine, never used it anyway.

regarding the rear doors, not sure if its the same rattle you mean but i had a noise coming from the rear doors area, eventually i found it was the seat belts clips bumping into the doors, if you look at the sides of the rear seats you will notice two small pockets in the leather were you can tuck-in the seat belt clip, once you do that it should hopefully stop the rattling.
