    I posted his on PiP forum, but haven't got reply.
    I am hoping for some answers on this side of the forum.

    i searched over the forums, I only saw one post that was related to my rattle but without an answer.
    rattling sound from driver's door | PriusChat

    I notice there was a rattle coming from driver's side near the door/window while I was driving in uneven NYC road going about 30mph. I would not have noticed it had I not been on hold while speaking to someone over bluetooth.
    After spending few hours trying to figure out where the rattle is coming from, I have found out it's indeed driver's window. If I just open the window tiny bit, the rattle will go away.
    Anyone else experienced this? Any solutions?

    If you hear the rattle, it is something loose. I would just take it in for the warranty repair. If it is out of warranty and you are handy, you can open the door panel and investigate what came loose and re-secure it.

    made an appointment with purchased dealer for service.
    hopefully everything is well, they are loaning me a car as well.
