Is there a way to tighten the front chrome grille, it appears to be loose towards the bottom but it looks like it attaches with some sort of clip?? any ideas! I really need this rattle fixed. thanks

If the grille is anything like the 2nd Gens, then there are plastic clips that hold the grille on. There's a "tongue" on the clip that snaps into the grille. On mine, if you push the tab upward, it releases, so you can remove the grille. That tongue may have either found its way free from vibration or may have broken off. Get a flashlight to look into the mounting holes in the grille. You should be able to see black or gray tongues/tabs (I'd first check one that is not loose). If you see them, you may be able to push foreward (toward the vechicle) and that tongue may snap back. If it doesn't, get a screwdriver and push the tongue down. If you don't see a tongue at all, then it may be broken off. I bought some replacements from my Toyota dealership--I think they were like $.50 a piece.

Again, this only applies if the mounting hardware is the same on the 3rd Gen as it is on the 2nd.
