someone has tried 3M wet type silicone lubricant spray in the gap between the windshield and dash.
says it worked.

When I brought my '06 GS3000 AWD in for the 40K service, I asked to have the dash rattles fixed. I had asked previously at the 35K service, and the response was that they could not duplicate the problem. This time, there was a Lexus provided form specifically for this problem. TSB L-SB-004-08 and L-SB-0090-08 were both performed. Now - no more annoying dash rattles, squeaks, rubs. Of course, now I hear the other little rattles in the car, but it is much better now, even in the cold weather.

So, check with the dealer and ask about the TSBs.

I found the remainder of my rattles (after dealer took dash off twice) came from the plastic cowl under the hood up by the windshield. Move the cowl that the wipers go through back and forth and fix any creaks with felt. My car is dead quite, even on WI roads.

this cowl was one of the parts replaced on mine last week to address the noise.
