Default Annoying Rear Dash Rattle

I've got this annoying rear dash rattle that occurs only when I play heavy bass sounding songs. Speakers have been insulated. The dash has been dynamatted, etc. I've taken it in on 4 different occassions. On the most recent visit the service tech informs me they have done all they can do. They admit there is a problem but have exhausted their options on how to resolve the problem and now have referred the issue to the Lexus rep who is to call me at some point. Any suggestions on dealing with the Lexus rep? I'm not asking them to replace my car, just fix an annoying rattle. Anyone else with this problem? Was there a resolution? Thanks.

Push up with force on back left or front left (can't remember) bolt to speaker. The rattle should go away. They took mine apart twice and put in insulation. I pointed out to them exactly where the rattle is coming from twice and they still couldn't correct it. How hard can it be. Spoke with the area supervisor who stated performing as designed when compared to another year and model. I love when they can fall back on that and make excuses for poor design.

I just bought my 2009 and I have a lot of road noise. Now there is some metal type vibration going on which sounds like it is coming from the back dash and no music playing. This week the front dash seems to be vibrating. YIKES I have only had this car for less then 30 days and it has 500 miles on it. Thinking about asking them to replace it. Any input?
