Default Headliner Rattle (DVD screen)

Does anyone have a rattle coming from the headliner like right behind the sunroof (where the rear seat DVD screen is)? It starts to rattle when on a rough road or when the music has strong bass. It's very annoying...

No, no rattles there.

I do however have a rattle in my driver's sun visor and creeks in my driver's seat.

Default I've got a rattle....

But I think it's coming from the sunroof.

this is my second GX, and the first one had the same rattle.
I'm going to bring it up at 5000mi service on this one.

The last time, I gave them a CD and told them what track to put it
on and it was easy to reproduce. They took it all down and added
some padding here and there, but they didn't completely fix it.

It wouldn't be so noticable if the truck weren't so quiet otherwise.

I get on bassy music, of when driving over rough roads.

Default just wanted to bump this back up...

my gx is back in at Lexus trying to get the rattle to go away.

The service writer is interested in hearing from anyone else who might have had this
fixed, and how it was done.

We are only at 8400 miles. The rattle sounds like a loose wire bouncing on plastic
or metal coming from the sunroof opening.

Smooth road, no rattle.

Any vibration in the road, rattle.

No easy to hear from the back seat, because the opening in the sunroof points
to the front.

I don't really hear the rattle that much anymore. However, if you get yours fixed, please post up what was wrong! That way if it comes back we can get it fixed

Default problem solved!

Lexus service at my dealership came through. They dogged it and figured it out.
Turns out that Toyota has a TSB out on a rattle in the DVD screen on the Land
Cruiser, but Lexus has yet to issue one for the GX, which uses the same parts.

After replacing the RSES DVD screen, the rattle is gone.

PM me if you want to know what dealership and who my service advisor was.
