try putting down the centre arm rest on the rear seats. see if noise goes away. if so try leather conditioner on the whole seat. usally works.

That styrofoam sound comes from the leather rubbing against the back seat or the back center console. Use a leather conditioner and it goes away! Good luck!

I had a squeek/creaking noise coming from the rear, and found it to be the plastic cargo screen latch that touches the rear hatch when the hatch is closed. Applied some grease to the contact points, and noise is gone.

certain models on RX330s i dunno about rx350s , had a TSB for weather stripping. weather stripping is a rubber gasket thing that goes above the doors. they had problems with it getting loose and making wind noise. i cnt really hear it in my car but my mechanic says he can hear it, so im gonna have them fix it.

Does that TSB include the moonroof? I hear wind noise coming from that when the moonroof is closed. When I barely tilt or open the moonroof, the noise goes away.

I have a very odd intermittent dash rattle. I have an 2004 RX330. My dash rattle comes from around the Navigation screen. I only hear it on roads that are bumpy. It sounds like the Navigation system is loose and rattling. The road has to have a lot of small bumps. It is not all of the time so it isn't terrible, but it can be annoying.

I also had a squeak that I fixed in the back seat. The back passenger seat needed to be tightened down to the rail. After I tightened all of the bolts, the sqeak was gone for good.

Here is an odd one. I was sitting (for the first time) in the back seat and I leaned the seat back to rest. I was hearing (only on the highway) a sound like something was flapping by small back window. It sounded like a small piece of string that was flapping and hitting near the window. The seals are all fine. Any ideas?
