I took mine into a local Toyota dealership on Saturday for a TPMS fix and had them look into the rear deck noise as well. I showed them the Subaru TSB and they acted like they had no idea or had ever dealt with this issue. They had the shop foreman go on a drive with me and sure enough I was able to replicate the noise. He noted the noise(s) and said that he had to contact Toyota to see how to proceed but that he would bring up the TSB. He also said that they could try to fix based on the TSB but that they also had to order the "special" grease as noted in the TSB. So, I will be bringing it back when they have the grease on hand.

When I left the shop, I noticed a new noise. When I make sharp turns or go up/down sharp inclines, there is a loose screw or rolling ball noise either coming from my passenger side door or in the floor below the carpet. Haven't been able to pinpoint it. I will try taking off the door panel during Thanksgiving to see if I can find anything in there. Weird. Drives me crazy though.
