Plastic Scraping Noise on Accel/Decel Driving Me Crazy

[standardtoaster]

Bought my first Camry, a 2008 Le, with 60K miles on it. When I accelerate or decelerate from or to a stop I sometimes hear a scraping noise similar to scraping your key along the plastic trim on the inside of the B pillars. It has a hollow signature to it like something is rolling around inside a door or other plastic trim. I've checked the trunk and door pockets for anything that might be rolling around. Nothing. I cannot isolate the location to stop the sound.

Any suggestions?

Look under your car

Where? There is nothing hanging down, nothing loose that I can move on my own with my hand. Nothing in the wheel wells. Haven't checked under the hood yet. Guess I should do that next.

most of the times its either the splash shield which its under the front end of the vehice or maybe the rock protector which its located on the front of the wheel (on the opposite side of the mud flap) i know u said u checked the wheels n the you also checked to see if there was anything hanging

Thanks, still looking. It really sounds like something is rolling around somewhere near the driver's seat.

Maybe there is something rolling around loose in the coin drawer.

Or an empty plastic bottle under the seat?
