I was gonna do a poll like this, but I procrastinated .

Anyways, my IS was built in December '06, and there seems to be some rattling in the glove compartment.

Sometimes, there's even some creaking from the sunroof (I think, but I can't tell).

Other than that, everything is good .

The rattling from the glove compartment was annoying the hell out of me. I couldn't figure out where the rattling was coming from, until one day I opened the glove compartment to get something and noticed the little shelf wasn't securely held in place. Popped it back in the little slit, and the rattle disappeared! Maybe you have the same problem.

I also had the sunroof creak as well. Told the service guy during the 5,000 mile maintenance and they fixed it.

If the shelf looks normal, in other words, if the side of the shelf makes a 90 degree angle with the bottom of the glove compartment, it's in place. If not, then there's a little slit (or holes, I forgot) where it should be snapped in. You should be able to tell immediately if the shelf popped out.

Still getting an annoying squeak from the back seat area. Someone said they had the same thing from the break light assembly and eliminated it from putting something underneath, as it is loose. I tried that and still have the squeak, but is intermittent….any ideas where it could be coming from?
