Hello,
The radio in my Corolla makes an intolerable rattle. It can be clearly heard driving down the freeway at 90 with all the windows rolled down. It's unbearable and though I've had this car for a couple of years and I continue to make payments on it, I drive a 2005 Prius that I begged a friend to give to me instead of leaving at the junk yard. Yes. The rattle is so extreme that for a year and a half I've driven a 14 year old piece of shit that barely runs instead of driving the new car that would otherwise be a nice ride if not for this noise.
The rattle is coming from behind the touch-screen somewhere. It's inaccessible, so I'm unable to get to it to try to dampen it.
I'm not expecting the Prius to run forever, so I need to start thinking about solving this rattle. The most straight-forward solution I think would be to just replace the radio. What's involved here? Can I just buy another radio on Ebay (or elsewhere if you'd be so kind as to enlighten me) and plug it in or are there some ridiculous, impossible to solve hoops to jump through?
Any help appreciated.
