Default Dashboard creak/rattle above clock

Hey guys,

2019 GS350 AWD F-sport with about 50k miles here. Love the car but it recently developed a rattle/creak right in the center of the dash where my hand is touching. You can hear the noise in the video attached (bottom of post) and it gets annoying on bumpier roads. Is this a common issue with a known fix? It is worth pointing out that today is a toasty day too, about 95 degrees F.

Thanks!

I have a squeak coming from the same place and it’s easily reproduced by pressing down on the same area - but more rearward than the leading edge. Pressing down on it firmly stops the problem. Did you - or anyone else - ever get any resolution?

I got rid of a lot of the console creaks by wrapping the pressure clips in a single turn of Tessa fabric tape. I haven't done it yet, but I believe it's a similar item for the doors as well. Every time I take a piece of trim off, I wrap any contact points in fabric tape.

I would imagine a similar thing could be done if taking apart your dash?
