Few small issues.
Hello.
I started hearing a small rattling sound coming at low speeds wile driving. It's a tic tic rattle which almost sounds like a cat, but it only does it while driving and not all the times. I had a smiling noise once on one of my cars and it was a torque converter. It's not the brakes, as applying brakes doesn't help. Also the whole front end is brand new. It motor related. Can a heat shield for a cat come loose? Anyone encounter a similar problem? Replicating this at a dealer will be difficult.
I'm also dealing with a wind noise coming from a driver side window. My car has the updated thicker windows. The noise goes away if I lower the driver side window just a fraction. So having it closed all the way creates more noise. Again I don't know if the dealer will help me with it.
Other than that wind noise is at a minimum.
Thanks .

I had a rattle yesterday. Baffled me for about 2 hours. Finally as I was driving I saw the tape thats on the outside of the "A" pliiar flapping in the wind. I always thought that was painted but it appears it is some kind of tape. Both sides have come loose but it looks like chrome underneath so I am just going to let it go.

Not sure about the ticking noise, but the wind noise sounds like the outside window gasket is getting folded over. Here is a thread explaining it and additional info. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...t-windows.html

Thank you guys .
Upon inspection I did discover the vertical rubber strip folding over on itself. I was able to bend it back for the time being. Not sure if this was the cause of the problem . I'll let the dealer know next time I'm in.
My passenger side headlight started getting condensation , and passenger side lumbar doesn't work. Broken gears I think.
Let's see what warranty picks up.
Thanks again.
Happy July 4th to all.
