It only occurs when rear seat is loaded.
Thanks

Not an owner of a '16 model but I believe this is quite common in the older model 'Lux. There's a thread or two on the forum. I had this issue when the rear seat was loaded (unloaded it was silent) and I tried a few things spanning from tapes to insulation materials. The best solution for me thus far has been cutting some 20mm heatshrink from Jaycar at a length of roughly 2" and then wrapped it around the hook that the seat latches to on the cab. This has stopped the noise for the last...say, six months?
I checked it last week and the heatshrink centre has pretty much disappeared signalling that I'll need to re-do my botchy repair job so this is very much a temporary solution (albeit a cheap one). I don't believe Toyota has a fix - they apparently just tape the crap outta the hook.

You drive under a freeway overp[ass during the daytime and the headlights switch on.....drivers infront of you think your O.D'ing at them for some reason....absolute crap. Gonna ask the dealer to switch it off fully and Ill control the light myself.

I picked up a set of four rims before xmas on fleabay. The bloke was in the tyre industry and told me he sells what customers dont take with them so keep an eye out there. I had to haggle pretty hard but got him down to $50 a rim with the centre caps. Good luck in your search you're going to need it!
