Default Creaking noise from glove box

I've found a creaking noise coming from the glove compartment door. When I hear the noise, I put my hand on the door and it stops. It's very intermittent and usually happens when it's cold out. Anybody else have this problem or know what the fix is? I'm loathe to try to bring such an intermittent problem to the dealer. Usually they want to hear it before they'll acknowledge it exists.

I have the same glove box issue.

Plus front window jamb rattles and black trim around gauges..

I blame the V8 rumble

I believe Lexus dealership are well accustomed to the noise complaints from ISF owners and have many remedies to fix the problem. Take it in rather than suffer.

Take it to Longo. They know exactly what to look for. They are well aware of my rattle situations and they have all been fixed to date. Make an appointment with Jimmy in service.

my glove box used to make sound also, but after closer inspection it was coming not from the door, but from inside shelfs...it was fixed by dealer with a little help of foam stickers..
