Do you have a warranty? I hope so. I had the same issue and it was a pricey repair but I had a CPO warranty.

SAME exact issue. I started dealing with this around the same mialeage as yours. I now have 70k miles and at this point im used to it. I called lexus but looks like they wont cover repairs and it would be costly fix out of pocket so decided to just deal with it. Let me know if you find a solution, i know this is a common issue in Lexus Models.

So I see I'm not the only one. Mine started at around 25k miles and now I have 32k. I'm waiting for a list of things to get done before I take it in. I hate the dealer touching my car. Always have issues with scratches and proving them before and after is a pain in the @ss. I have time on my warranty. I also have wind noise from the windshield since new.

I also had sunroof rattle replaced the sunroof weather strip and that solves the issue. Only problem I encountered when installing the trim was that the sunroof didn’t want to automatically close. I had to manually close the sunroof. Well after I closed it I left the sunroof closed for 2 months, I finally opened it again and now it fully closes automatically. My guess is that the gasket was too thick and would hit the edge of the roof and make the sunroof retract. Well know that it has been formed to the size of the opening I have no issues. Here’s the link RC weatherstrip

I am at 46k and the sunroof frame rattles on my car. If you close the slider it stops, so I've got that. And my sunroof creaks when fully open, so I just bump it forward a bit and the noise stops. One day I'll replace the frame as I assume replacing the seal wont help...

Sadly this is a fairly common issue in both the RC and the IS.
