Took a while, but the day has finally arrived... NO MORE noises to suffer from!

- Instrument panel rattle - fixed with felt
- Ventilation cowl squeak - fixed with felt
- Dashboard chirp - fixed with felt
- Central console creak - fixed with felt
- Driver's seat click - fixed by Lexus today...

My car is 22 months/32,000 miles old but now feels NEWER than new

So glad I found this forum to guide me (plus had the nerves) taking the car apart and fix those issues by myself (OK, except the seat which Lexus sorted...)

Thanks!

 

Did u take any pix during fixed ? Pix would help alot of members to kn how to fix it!

 

please share!

 

Haven't taken any, because I relied on photos already in this forum. There are quite detailed explanations for removing all parts. I haven't removed the dash but used the well proven 'stuffed felt' solution which - in my case - solved the problem 100%.

Any specific question on how to sort any of the above (except the seat, which I have no idea what Lexus done) - I'm willing to help!

Hello i was wondering if you can help me with the felt thing your are talking about i havr a problem with my dashboard with chrip noise

 

would you mind posting what areas of your dash you put the felt in?
i feel like my whole dash (left / right) is making noise... sucks

 

i have the same issue with the left/right of my dash making a slight creaking noise. i guess its due to the rigidity of the car? who knows, i would love for it to be fixed

 

I'll take some photos tomorrow and try to explain further.
Almost two years later & 13,000 miles more - still no rattles.

 

The only slight tick I hear in my 460 is the driver's side seat belt unit, just to the left of my ear. All I do is turn up the tunes, problem fixed

 

did that 3 years ago... still works...

 

patiently waiting

 

me too... there is this rattle right over the instrument panel near the winsheild. I jammend an entire sheet of felt and it made no difference.

 

Just got mine back from the dealer. I had a windshield area squeak and a rattle in the instrument cluster area. Fixed under warranty. Like a new car again.

 

Here you go fellas, wrote this up like 7 years ago LOL

Took my 2007 RX350 as I noticed the dashboard on the left seemed loose when I pushed on it, and is squeaking. I did get in a minor accident on that side so they told me to take it back where I got it fixed as the dashboard may have shifted in the accident. Lexus said they would need at least (10) hours to take apart the dash and look through it..
