Rattle in Cabin of Facelift GXL

I've got the rattle in the plastic around the gearshift too, Toyota couldn't hear it when it was in for a service but I suspect they didn't even listen for it because it's painfully obvious. I think it will be a case of fixing it myself, just need to find out how to remove the plastic parts without breaking anything. I have popped it up a little but reached a point where it was going to need a bit more force and I wasn't to keen to pull harder in case something broke... For the moment I just have to make sure the stereo is turned up, which leads me to my next rattle, the passenger door has a rattle but that seems to be caused by the speaker. I haven't attempted to sort that one out yet.
If anyone has removed the plastic around the gearshift I would be very grateful to find out how it's done!

hi guys,
I have had a small rattle in the dash of my 150 since new. I couldn't pick the spot, I spoke with Toyota and they needed a bit more than a "rattle please find it". about a month ago I had the privilege to drive on a trip down south by myself without the kids. I hunted and hunted and ended up finding it in the bottom left side of the steering wheel. I just had to depress the horn a bit (not enough to get the horn to operate) and the noise stopped. I dropped it into Toyota and the promptly inserted a small amount of packing under the steering wheel. I am a happy man now. Perhaps that helps.
Cheers

They'll also be looking at the very loud rattling they fixed about 2 months ago by adjusting the Pillar and heater box in the cabin..it's back with a vengeance..first world problems I know, but when you pay serious $$ for a car, you expect a little quality.. On the plus side, it drives like a dream..I should have dumped the old VE commodore a lot sooner..
