Default 2004 Lx470 Dash Board Rattle

hello everyone.

i have a 2004 lx470 with a little more than 10,000 miles on it. about 2,000 miles ago i began to hear a low rattle coming from the top center of my dash - usually driving at about 40 miles per hour or more.

recently i took my vehile in for servicing and while test driving it with a mechanic we were unable to reproduce the noise. regardless they took the vehilce in (for the 10,000 mile servicing, aswell as a few other things). in the end my truck was returned and they supposidly resolved the dash board rattling (because they were at a later time - while the truck was at the shop - they were able to reproduce the noise) by adding more insulation.

once home, the noise came back, and this time it is louder than before. if i press down on the dash above where the navigation screen is the noise completely stops. the noise sounds like it is coming at the top center front most part of the dash where the dash meet the windsheild. has anyone had a similar problem - any suggestions before i take it back to the dealership AGAIN? THANK YOU.

Ever get this resolved. I have a similar issue with my 2006 LC. Seems to be cold weather related, but it drives me nuts. Right where the dash meets the windshiled. The colder and rougher the road, the more pronounced the rattle is. Very annoying.

I had a slight buzzing sound in my upper right top dash after the windshield was replaced a year ago. Dealer said it wasn't covered under warranty and they'd have to pull the complete dash (3+ hr job), so I passed. I recently got a new windshield (prev one cracked after 1 yr), buzzing appears to be gone for now.

Did anyone here find the fix for this? Dealership just told me today that the entire dash would need to come out, 6hrs of work at $115 an hours. UGH. And that buzz is so annoying, right in the middle right of the dash, around 1000 rpm, everytime i start to accelerate from a stop, there it is.
