Anyone have any ideas as to what causes this annoying popping sort of sound when I drive over small bumps in the road? It's a clicking/popping sort of sound.

Sometimes when I press the dash where I've circled it replicates the sound, usually more when the car is warm. When cold if I press it, it makes no noise. But regardless of temperature, when I drive, it makes the noise over small bumps every time

Been trying to figure it out for months now and just cannot get rid of it.

There is some spray stuff you can get for dash noises, it looks like there is a join there that might be moving.

I don't know the name of the stuff but it was mentioned in a thread not long ago and I seem to remember it was from VW?

I tried some adhesive similar to blue tac ( black-tac ) and it seems to help but the noise is still there. Maybe I just have to live with it as it's an 08 Yaris

Take the dash apart and have a look.

Then tighten everything up.
