Annoying Rattles :(
I've owned my 05 RX for a couple months and am overall happy with it except for really annoying rattles coming from front passenger side whenever going over bumps and pot holes. I hear rattles from up, around glove box area and etc only from the front passenger area. What can I do to pinpoint where exactly rattles come from and possibly get rid of them?

I don't have any rattles coming from that area... that I have noticed. But I do have a rattle coming from the back seat when the armrest console is up. If the console is left down it is nice and quiet. I do have a small air noise coming from the right rear but after 125K I can put up with some noises. Good luck tracking that rattle down. Might want to have someone look at the struts to see if they are worn out and rattling. I know mine is due for struts but I am procrastinating since I recently had the waterpump, timing belt, trans flush, gear oil (transfer case and rear diff) , and spark plugs changed out.

I put about 200 miles on my '05 RX330 I just bought and have a rattle coming from the rear. I think its the rear floor compartment doors. I removed all the "stuff" I put in after purchasing so now I'm waiting to confirm on my next ride. The compartment doors do seems like they do not close/seat completely despite gravity and the rug mat...

No more rear rattle after this was done.

LOL, no matter where you set them down, they build a nest. Another tip/warning; if a female is around or uses an object for 30 days or more it automatically becomes hers, it's a law apparently. Be careful of that Lexus!
