If you guys are getting the noises in Florida, you can only imagine how bad it gets in New England in December. Had it fixed once and it is starting up again. Thanks Thomastan... Great update.

When I had my dash fixed last year, the rattle was gone for almost 6 months. The 1st cold night this year, it came back slightly and the GS also develope 3 new rattles else where. Where is that Lexus driving experience I use to get with my old Lexus. Lexus is suppose to be a relaxing ride, not a stressful one.

Does anyone have rattling noises on the back windshied? I had some but it went away. Sound just like the front windshied...the awful squeaking noise.

I see that Lexus is still clueless three years later.. Clips on backorder, what a joke. Their dash is POS. Search and you can find a few simple things to try on the front passenger side rattle.

im fed up with the rattles in my 2gs430, granted it has 160k

now that ive read this thread im thinking twice about picking up a 3gs430 if they develop the same problem with only 30k miles!

my dealer is the stingiest ever i doubt they would help me out if i was to get one with an issue

what percentage of the 3gs's would you say have the rattle issue?

Bad enough to make consumer reports ding them
See poll I bumped
The rattles can show up with fewer than 2k miles. Mine showed up less than month after I drove the car off the lot new.
Have they done anything to fix this issue, not a chance

The percentage is pretty high. 06-08 are having these problems...i would assume more than 65% of them are making noises on the dashboard. Remember that not everybody who own 3GS out there is a CL member.

The TL's rattling problem are much more wide spread, almost all TL rattles at one point or another.
