Hey everyone, hope you had a great holiday.

I have a new thing, it seems when my dash fans are on circulating air there is a slight vibration. When I make a right turn the vibration increases quite a bit. Anyone have this issue? Any advise on diagnosis? Thanks in advance!

The middle/center of the dash is a press fit, like all Japanese cars, so it could be that the retaining clips are loose. Try locating the noise and press hard on the piece that is making the noise. If not, try wedging something between the piece that is making the noise temporarily. Then when you have time, take the loose piece off and see if the clip is bad.

Alternatively, you can do what all the folks who drive Priuses/Prii do (since the entire inside cabin is all press fit plastic) use putty or 'earth quake gum' behind the rattling piece to dampen the sound.
