Default ls460 creaking/popping noises from the roof

Hey everyone, I picked up a 09 ls460 swb a few months back and am slowly turning it into my daily.

Going down my driveway at an angle causes a loud popping noise from my roof. I checked the headliner to see if anything was loose but came up with nothing. This occasionally happens on sharp turns on uneven ground.

I recently lowered my car so now this is happening way too often. Anybody have any insight ?

It was something that happens to the LS's. There is a TSIB for it. I'll look for it.

I have this as well, but it is nothing compared to the dash pop I have going on. Hoping the dealer is willing to work with me on it.

I believe that there is a sun roof rail TSB about this noise. Search the forum and you will see additional info

Kind of on topic, but anybody here from Houston that can recommend an easy going lexus service adviser?

My car is not under warranty or cpo.

I recall reading about this TSB, it is kinda of heavy on the labor side. They remove the roof liner and the windshield, then take the sunroof out from the front of the car to replace something and then put it back together. so I would say you are looking 3 hours labor at min. Good luck!
