Hi all, does anyone have these issue. Not sure if it's a convertible thing or not.

When driving on normal roads, when the car goes over any imperfect bumps, cracks etc. My door makes this weird sound (like when you move around styrofoam). I'm not sure if it happenshappenE passenger side, but I will have to check.

Also, this car get extremely hot everywhere. Trunk, inside cabin (when it's cool outside and fan is on and temp is set to low, AC off) it's still blowing out warm air.

I sometimes get a very slight click behind my left shoulder when the car stops or stops. I assume it's something in the convertible-roof mechanism that's not really worth chasing down.

Regarding your temperature issue, as I said in one of your previous posts, something almost certainly is wrong with the way you have the climate controls set. Go to Menu>Climate and poke around, preferably with the owner's manual as a guide.

Same.

Weird click behind me at very low speeds whenever the body shifts (turns, stops, speed bumps, etc)

I will have them look at it when I drop her off for her 5k service coming up soon.

I have a noise where the driver windows meets the roof. I figured it just the nature of the roof top. The roof is going to flex/flop/move with bumps. Plus frameless window. And it's a small "rattle" Maybe just my car.

i have everything set to off and no auto. I have the vents set to just blow straight (not feet or windshield). Temperature is set to low and fan is on.
still warm air, of course once I turn on the AC it gets cold. (it's cool enough outside that i shouldn't need AC but warm enough that i don't need heat, about 18-21c).

I will have them check this out.

it could also be the windows rubbing against the rubber stripping. These little things is what made me sell my IS and swear i wouldn't buy Lexus again. My IS250 dash in cold weather was always making a clicking sound when driving over bumps (something about the double sided tape not holding in the dash down and it would hit the windshield by the center speaker)

Please advise at that point regarding diagnosis. Thanks.

Apologies if I am telling granny how to suck eggs, but here's a couple of videos from Northside Lexus that cover the climate settings, hope they help.

I probably have a few strange noises when I drive mine. But I usually have the music up too loud or the top down so I don't notice . Always an easy solution to almost any car noise.

Problem is, sometimes i prefer to drive without the top down and no music. Especially at 5am as I drive my daughter to swim practice. I'm tired and prefer as much silence as possible.

You have an underage daughter so I know from experience you never have any silence
