There's a rattle from my driver side mirror and it's very annoying. Only when closing the door do you hear it its very
Faint and you got to have good hearing to hear it imo.

I did isolate a rattle that was coming from the glove box/ passenger vent area. I popped the speaker grill off next to the passenger A-pillar and found a bolt next to the speaker that was really loose. I tightened the bolt and the rattle is now gone!!

Not sure if it is the same noise you are talking about, but I have some clicking/tapping around the same area... I do not think it is from the seatbelt height adjuster, but rather the black plastic trim pieces that go around the top/sides of the window on the interior. I think it is these pieces, they seem to make a lot of clicking/tapping noises in my car. Not sure how I'd go about disassembling/tightening/insulating these pieces but I may try at some point.

Check out your car and let me know your opinion on this. I am pretty certain this is where the noise is coming from in my car.

Have the same issue. Originally thought it was the seat-belt height adjuster for the driver side but turns out that the noise is from the driver door exit handle near the roof. Its most apparent when hitting bumps/potholes...not sure what to do about it but I may just mess around with it next weekend.

I have the MOST annoying rattle right behind the dash aluminum trim on the passengers side that is exasperated by my cat back exhaust. I don't have the guts to remove the glovebox (which would mean disconnecting an airbag) and locate the source. It sounds like a nut vibrating in a tin can. It is so obnoxious.

I have the ML stereo and when listening to music at moderate levels, the driver side door panel vibrates. I plan to have the issue addressed when I take the car in for the 5k checkup.

I noticed some rattling the last couple weeks so I decided to bring it to Lexus (2015 F Sport). I am here right now and they found the driver door speaker was very loose. After tighten it, they said the issue is gone.

Weird to see so many reports of loose speaker screws on here. I had a rattle from one as well in my passenger door. They said they tightened a screw on the speaker, and it did fix the problem.

Maybe they need to start using some Loctite on these screws at the factory.

Not even 2 weeks have gone by and I have driven 145 miles since the rattle was fixed and now its back. At this point, I know its not the speaker because its the same sound.

I've been reading through a lot of the rattle threads and some people are saying its an issue with the rear brakes/rotors. In any case, I have an appointment for Monday and I'm going to tell them I dont want the car back until its completely fixed.

That video explains the fix for the door panel rattle.

Dealer tried "tightening the rails" last week, no luck. Will be back in a week to try again.
I think I am having this issue...the clunking from the rear sounds like it could be coming from the sunshade...I hate it

I recently had a rattle pop up, coming from the right side of the car, or at least to the right of the drivers seat. Dealer can't replicate the rattle and I can't pin point. Almost sounds like the B pillar but not 100%. Any suggestions where to look?
