Cool Anyone else have arm rest rattle when music is playing?

Started a year ago and its been killing me every time I turn the music up to lvl 30 or higher.
I love the Mark Levinson sound, but it can't fully be enjoyed with extra rattle.

If you're referring to the driver side then have a look at this:

Are you still under warranty? I had the same problem, I tried the above, it helped but still had the rattle. If you take it to Lexus they can fix it by replacing the driver window control switch (as seen in above video). If you are out of warranty they will charge you $65 for the replacement switch/labor. I can finally enjoy my ML loudly.

This is what I have been waiting for! Thanks!! Will try this weekend. If the electric tape doesn't help, definitely going to see Lexus

Great tip! This is the answer and exactly what I used a few months back to quiet my rattling switch panel. I also cut a couple of pieces of adhesive felt and stuck them to the openings around the clips for the switch panel. Dead silent now, even with music turned up.

this is a stretch but would you happen to still have the invoice for that replacement they did for the switch? Just to have proof that's what they should charge me.
