Default Squeaky, Creaky, Rattles in the IS Dash

Wow... My 2007 IS350 dash is squeaking and rattling like crazy now that the weather is cold... I am going to have to put a 1/2" piece of rubber tubing in between the dash and the windshield and hope that fixes it, but I am not sure it will be enough... I can press on certain parts of the dash and some of the rattles/squeaks stop, but man, it's gotten really bad lately

Car used to be whisper quiet!

Reminds me of my Glove Box.. LoL...

That damn tray in there is a POS...!!

My Owners manual rides shotgun with me, so the glove box tray doesn't rattle..

I just had Lexus put the noise kit in my dash last week. It's quieter than it has ever been. I don't know if it will last but it may be worth a try.

My dash is fine since I got the dealership to fix it. They never could fix the doors though.

I plastered dynamat all over the doors and still no luck. I think I'm just going to have to live with it.

Can you elab more about the glovebox issue? I am getting the same problem from mine from time to time. Something about things falling behind the tray? Tray moves? I've taken all stuff out of that area and still got some rattle. Thanks.
