Default 2023 RX350 dash rattling

Good morning,
I have a 2023 RX350 and this morning my dash started rattling as well. I took it to the dealership for the 10k maintenance a couple of weeks ago. So, my initial thought was that they adjusted something and a bolt came loose. Not sure what's going on. My Lexi has the luxury trim, I can't stand this noise, although it's mild, it's not the quiet, smooth driving experience that I once had. It's either fix it or trade it in. Hopefully, they can fix it.

Make very sure the rattling is not cause by objects in any of the storage areas .. I know because I had usb cables in the small storage slot left of the steering wheel and it took me days to figure out was the source of a rattle ..

Thank you, RolfK
I will definitely look. All my life I've been a Silverado pickup truck gal...until this year. My sweet husband decided I needed something more comfortable to drive while running around taking care of our grown kids, grandkids, and siblings. His solution was my beautiful Lexi. It instantly became my place of Zen. When I get in my car, all my worries go away. That is until I started hearing the rattling....Lol.

In the past I had a sunglass inside the sunglass holder that rattled just a bit and sounded like it came from dash.

Would be worth emptying the glove box, phone charger area and all storages and see if you still have it.

Record audio of it and post it. Do you have to hit some rough road surface to hear it? Or is it constantly present while in motion? One area to look at is the seat belt buckle in the empty passenger seat, make sure that isn't oriented to rattle against the passenger door trim.

Check to make sure your sun visor(s) are clipped in place. I had the driver's side visor rattling like crazy and sounded like it was coming from the rear.

I have a 2023 with a rattle in the front as well! I narrowed it down and figured out that it only rattles when the A/C or fan is on so I told them that at the dealership. If the climate control is off - no rattle. They returned it to me and said it was the windshield wiper?!? One week later - the rattle starts again and when the climate control is off - no rattle. I am making another appointment to take it in. It's not a super loud rattle but anything like that drives my husband (a pilot) crazy and with less than 1,000 miles on the vehicle, I just want it fixed.

My rattle was also coming from the visor. I thought it was coming from the back or the seat, but it was the visor all along. Specifically, it's the mirror cover. I have tried adjusting it and opening and closing it, but it still rattles. I hope they come up with a fix.
