For anyone experiencing rattles from the wayback, it MAY be coming from loose gear in those underfloor bins. My wife found a great solution: Get a roll of that non-slip shelf liner from a kitchenware, hardware, or thrift store. It's available in a wide variety of colors and may be cut to fit those bins and boxes under the floor. Stuff doesn't roll or slide around so much, and it cushions things like the jack, tools, and emergency gear of all kinds.

For a cheaper solution, visit neighborhood home stores, hardware stores, thrift shops, or dollar stores. It may take a little shopping because seldom does any one retailer have more than two or three colors in stock at one time.

I chased a rattle from the rear on my RX400h and could not find it so I went to the dealer. The tech went for a ride with me, heard the rattle, and had me pull over and open the rear door (hatch?). He pressed in both of the locks for the cargo cover (which was not in at the time) and we drove off. The rattle was gone! When you push in on these little levers, they lock in place. If not latched, they rattle much louder than I thought possible.
