DIY - FIX small squeak, rattle, and ticking Driver's Side
#16
Great post.. My 2013 RX 350 is having annoying rattle/ticking on driver side b-pillar.. right next to my ear. Of course, dealer's response is "our technican can't hear it.... " I wonder if step 3 of 3 insulation is the source. There is suggestion on the overhead handle is causing rattle, but when I press around the handle and rattle is still around

on the last diy are you pulling the plastic trim piece from the window frame and then adding felt? My RX makes the worse popping souind from the plastic trim piece. I need help to fix it

Thanks folks, hopefully you won't have to make use of this DIY, but if so, it really has helped me - so far after 4 months, the fixes still result in a solid quiet interior.
On my RX, the grab handle is not a noticeable source of squeaks but keep in mind, the slightest fraction a millimeter that's off can make all the difference between the metal clips rubbing into the metal cavity in the ceiling. That's a potential source of squeaking there. Most of my squeaks in the RX were similar to the IS and fixed in a similar fashion.
No, not on the IS since there is no plastic trim surrounding the door window frame. On the RX, yes, pull the frame carefully back and felt it inside. There's a DIY on that in the RX forum which has helped me eliminate most of the squeaking in that area.

I have a 2014 I350 F Sport and my rattling problem is the piece right above the gauge cluster. It's been rattling since day one and it drives me crazy that a $50K car rattles more than my wife's Hyundai Sonata!

My girlfriend has a 2013 Hyundai Sonata and it's one of the quieter cars that I've been in. I've especially noticed that there is absolutely no wind noise in her car!

Hello everyone. I tried all the solutions here but none of them worked. Seems like mine comes from around the driver's door glass area. Any ideas? Now that there are more 3IS on the road as compares to when this thread was started, i'm pretty sure some 3IS owners out there are experiencing same kind of problems.
