Default Rattle sound

I'm noticing occasional rattle sounds coming from the dash area on my 2023 IS350, primarily around the navigation and glove box area (removed all the items from the glove box). So far, they are pretty minor. I'm wondering how common this issue is and if it is easy for the dealership to address, or if there a risk of scratching/breaking something by taking things apart?

I have a 2022 IS300 with bigger NAV screen. I too hear a rattle or noise near the glovebox sometimes. I thought it was the big owners manual binder hitting the glove box door, but that is not it. I drove around with the glove box open, and the noise still happens. I pressed that padded area to the left of the glove box where passenger leg/knee would rest and it make some noise. Now the noise is gone. I am thinking that padded panel that has the tight fitment into the dash area just maybe doesn't like temperature swings like we've had lately in mid-atlantic.

Good luck!

+1, I've had some rattles coming from the padded area as well. It seems to happen when I've been on a longer drive.
