Notice that my arm rest always got rattling sound. However, I want to find the screw to tighten but cant find. Anyone can advise me, where is the screw?

suggest go TCM and get them to trace and "insulate" the rattling areas, sound may not be from the arm rest. i had a similar problem and got it fixed recently. my few weeks old car had some soft but still audible rattling sound when driving on roads that're just slightly uneven (sounded like from dashboard, door panels, passenger seat, armrest areas), very annoying. no sound when on smooth roads, e.g. some nice flat stretches along expressways.
reported the problem during my 1k servicing and was told the mechs insulated the dashboard and door panels when i collected my car after 6 hrs. rattling sound gone but only for a few days. so i sent car back to TCM and left it there for 2 days. TCM did a more thorough job this time, irritating sound gone and its been more than a month since (hope it stays that way). mech told me that the sound is caused by car’s interior parts rubbing against each other when car “shakes” while moving on uneven roads. they added insulation tapes between the rubbing parts and rid the rattling problem (wonder how long the insulation will last). but of course, the normal “squeaking” sound when car "boogy woogy" over more undulating grounds or over humps are still there.
good luck

The sound maybe coming from our air filter compartment at in front. Open up the bonet, take a look at the air filter, it is slotted in, with the cover closed. Open this lid & see behind, it is using this cover to hold tight the air filter. ;)

IMHO, this may be a design flaw in the latio's interior... too many adjoining pieces in the dashboard assembly. good when only a section of it needs replacement (don’t need to replace the whole big piece) but bad when the various parts move and rub against each other as the car “twists-n-turns”... we get vibrations and irritating sound :crying:
in some simplistic sense, joints and “movable” parts are like the earth’s fault planes; when the crusts at a fault move, vibrations (or seismic waves), heat energy and cracking occurs.
i must be mad talking about earthquakes in the Latio’s interior… whahahaha :out:

i share the same sentiments as you....i believe Slphy interior dashboard design also same....
last time, oso heard a owner complain when he sent his car for regular servicing at TCM.....
