2013 GS Driver Door
Good Morning.
I am trying to diagnose a buzz/squeak/rattle coming from the driver door. Once I press on the door, the noise goes away, so I would like to take the interior trim and leather off the of the door to do some more troubleshooting. Does anyone have any tips or guides on how to remove the interior portion of these doors?
Thanks!

Yes, it is under the factory warranty, but this one in particular is a little hard to track down. I know its not random, but it appears to only happen on certain days and I am still trying to pinpoint the exact conditions. I have taken other Lexus vehicles in to them and they have been great at fixing rattles, but they were really obvious and easy to diagnose.
Part of me also hates bringing my vehicles in and complaining about things like rattles/squeaks. Seems so minor in comparison to an actual mechanical problem.

I usually ask them to fix/deal with small issues when I bring the car in for other service.so it is not the only thing it is coming in for.

Does it seem to be coming from the window switch area? I have that problem that only shows up with certain bass frequencies/volume. I have seen on here that there is a fix for it at the dealer (felt wrap on the underside of the switch). I am going to wait till I have another issue, or I am getting near warranty end to have mine looked at.

Ah, I see. Well one way to capture the issue is to take a video/audio of it when it happens and let the tech see/hear it when you are in (if you take it in). I have had to do that before and it helps.

Is it just me or are the seat warmers really weak?! I was thinking about bringing it up at 30k, but I've been reading alot on this forum and sounds like its a complaint across the board. I really liked the CT warmers, but I feel like this GS is a bit of a step back in the warmth department.

Seems to be a defect with the GS door panel.
