Dash is out of the car again at the dealership. They said they are insulating it @ all the contact points. Windshield TSB is also being performed. Should have it back today or tomorrow. Wish me luck!

good luck. It took me 3 times with the third time me watching them felt EVERY single contact point, and wrap everything single wire under that dash.

I might have to do that. Keep us updated! I had the TSIB performed already but still some rattles once in awhile.

I'll be going in for my 3rd visit tomorrow (granted it's not raining) for the same clicks and clacks. At 8k miles and counting.

Hey Guys... well mine is finally quiet as a church mouse...here's what I did.

Had Window Clips cut (decreased noise from upper dash 50%)

Had TSB for Ventilation Cowl done (decreased noises from upper dash 100%)

Creaking from door panel whenever I'd rest my arm on it... pulled rear upper door panel back (there is a single clip back there...if you try this be careful, it could break) Took a piece of cloth and put it over the clip and pushed door panel back on. Silent.

squeeking/rubbing noise coming from inside of driver seat. Pulled back of seat off... localized the noise to a spring that was rubbing against the foam seat... put a piece of felt tape around the spring coil. Silent.

Had a faint clicking coming from what sounded like the B-pillar right by ear. Pressed on the window and it would go away. Rolled down the window, and put silicone grease along the rubber window seals. Silent.

Still had 'clicking/creaking' over bumps from Nav Headunit... took it out last night. Put a piece of 2mm thick black dense foam paper (bought at wallmart in the arts/crafts department) up both sides of the unit...and along the top (in between the AC Vents and the unit). Squeezed it back into it's place.

Drove it last night and back and forth to work today. Not one click/squeek/rub/rattle or burp, ... none... NOTHING! Amazing. Now this is what a Lexus is supposed to sound like.... quiet.

Keep posting about your problems...and any solutions. I've used quiet a few of you all's ideas to isolate and fix things. Thanks!

I've had a light clicking sound coming from my b-pillar/seat belt anchor which the techs are having a hard time finding. Was your sound coming from the window for sure?

I've driven a loaner GS350 with the shop foreman one time with way less miles and the same build time July 2007 as mine. It did not have the same rattles as mine but it did seem to have a whole different set of noises of it's own.

Mine was from the window for sure... if I push against the window, it stops immediately. The rubber on the inside of the window that surrounds it is quiet hard... i could see how it could get dry and give off that sound with the slightest vibration. Try using silicone grease or lube on it and seeing...it's a quick/cheap/easy thing to do... nothing to lose.

Here's what I'm going to to about the myriad of squeaks, creaks and rattles that I have in my 2007 GS450h: I'm going to count the days before my 3-year lease expires, and then NEVER EVER buy another Lexus car again! This is so beyond unacceptable in a $60K vehicle! I don't have time and energy to deal with the uncooperative dealership over multiple visits. And I'm certainly not going to try to fix these myself. I'll vote with my feet...

come back in 3 years and let us know how it went :-)
