"Driver's Door" Rattle Fixed!
Okay my car is new and I've read a lot of posts about rattles. So one pops up in what seems to be my driver's door: a high frequency rattle occurring with a bump in the road. Oh, nooooo!
Simple fix--it turns out to be nothing with the door, just sounds like it. The noise is caused by the floor mat retaining hook rattling against the plastic grommet in the floor mat where the hook connects. I just moved the mat a bit and the noise went away.
Whew! No open surgery on my door.
Hope this helps.

I have the all weather rubber mats, and I love them! They work good for me because I tend to collect a lot of rocks in my car from work. I just take out my mats, shake off the rocks, and back in they go. The all weather mats IMO are much easier to keep clean compared to carpet mats.

Kickin8, I knew you were to respond to the wear issue on the all-season mats. One member was able to get a new set before the 1 year warrenty on parts ran out from Lexus. I plan on doing this. I forogt if you were able to get a new set?

I am usually the only one that rides in my car, so the only mat that is gonna get worn out is one my driver's side. Any possibility that can buy the mats individually, or are they just sold by set?

Unfortunately just a set, but keep your receipt and if you notice the wear issue, bring it to the parts manager of your dealer. Lexus is aware of this issue and has repleaced all 4 mats for other members for free under the year parts warrenty.

I know it's not recommended to do this, but it just placed my all weather mats on top of carpeted mats (yes I know I am gonna end up with dents in my carpet mats). So therefore, my all weather mats are in the clips far enough to stay in place, but not far enough to be a pain to pull out.
