I park in a garage both at home, and while at work. My car has virtually zero rattle. But the other day, I took it to a discount tire, and parked it under the sun without putting up the windshield visor. When I left there, it rattle quite a bit. But, the rattle is gone the next day, and hasn't come back since.

Is there anyone here with a dash rattle, and park in a garage both at home, and work?

Hmm...that's odd. These cars typically start rattling/creaking when it's cooler rather than hotter. At least that hold true for me!

i think it really depends. given the fit and finish of this car, maybe some panels expanded under heat and they get out of place or rub / squeak with other panels

Same for me. During the winter, I purposely park where it is sunny so that the interior of the car is warmed up. This really minimizes the winter rattles and creaking that I occasionally experience on rough road surfaces.

it's weird. i don't hear the squeaks and rattles in the winter time or when it's cold but i do hear it when it's hot out. you aren't alone KevGS460ML

Its most likely related to expansion of the plastics and metals in the heat. I, like most, have more rattle in the winter.

I used to get all my rattles in the colder winter months. Summer was a nice respite from the rattling.

After numerous complaints, Lexus Service took apart the entire dash 2 yrs ago and re-felted the dash and replaced all the pins. FINALLY -- no more rattles in the dash - whether it's hot/cold/warm/freezing. It was driving me cuh-razy! I was impressed with what they did -- took them 2 full days to complete the dash job -- all under warranty.

KEVGS460...totally understand what you are going through. I have a garage at home and covered parking at work and if its either hot or cold I get those annoying rattles. Mine specifically come from: sunroof (I believe it has something to do with the visor) and the other one is near the bottom of the drivers side seat. If I press down on my seat near my left butt cheek, I have that annoying creaking sound...not sure what that is. Anyone have any clue on how to get rid of it?

I don't have constant creaking but it happens periodically (1-2x per week?)...

Actually, it only happened that one time since I left it out in the sun. I am greatful that it hasn't rattle since. Good luck with yours, but now I know what all of you guys are going through.

I guess since the dash rubber is soft, heavy heat makes it softer, thus, move more.... I expect more fromLexus to make the cars dead quiet, i guess wrong. Wonder if the Mercedes is quieter since the publicity prone on that point.
