Rattles and how to fix....

[Martin F]

I guess the odd rattle on a 12 year old car, even a Lexus, is to be expected.

Although I suspect it can still be rectified. 😎

The 'odd rattle' was what I had. If only I'd left things alone 😢

Well, I've spent the last week or two stripping out various parts of the dashboard and I still can't find the noise source

I've now come to the conclusion that the source is somewhere under the car, exhaust mounts or driveshaft. Looks like I'm going to have to see what my local Lexus dealer thinks,

😞

I’ve had similar annoying rattles and buzzes in particular, which seem to come from the front passenger area. 

Having taped every possible contact point around the door, window, seatbelt and seat adjusters with anti-rattle tape, I finally managed to quieten the buzzing by padding out the area of trim by the passenger’s right leg area. One panel just popped out and I taped behind it, on the other I just prised a gap using a flat head driver and put some padding tape down the gap. Appreciate that everyone’s rattles may be different, but for now at least it’s seems to have cured most of mine
