RX350L Driver door clink noise
Hi Friends,
I hear a very feeble clink noise when I close the driver door of my RX350L. Other 3 doors close with a thud noise but the driver door only creates a feeble clink noise as if some metal parts touch each other. I tried finding the issue by myself but everything looks fine. Did anybody face this issue? This change is sound came recently only.
Also when I press the dash area at the top of the center console, there is a creaking noise. Did not expect this from a Lexus

hmmmm.. take a video please.
I had something like that on hot days. Only with a video the dealer was able to see that I wasn't lying and dug a little deeper to find that they forgot to add a screw in manufacturing.

This happened to me on a rear panel of a Tahoe and I found a paper mask buried in the fender. Took a closer look and saw bondo.
I have a 350L and don’t have your issue

I may suggest the following. Take one of those flex magnets that you may see on some bumpers or refrigerator. Maybe your car door was repaired. Place this magnet in various places and see if any body filler is reducing the pull to the panel.

Thanks for your suggestion. I brought this car new 2 months ago with 6 miles on it...
Sorry for asking again, in your 350L, can you confirm if none of the issues exists that I just mentioned in my 350L?

Not pushing means you are just accepting what it is. I want to know how many of us are facing this problem. If some of us are facing this issue and some not then Lexus should address this problem. That's my thought...
