There's a creak/rattle under my dash on the passenger side. I know these cars are prone to have these problems and I'm probably lucky that this is the only one with 120K on it. Does anyone know what it my be before I start pulling the dash apart and doing trial and error?

Many people have had "creaky" windshield, but your's is under the dash?
Do you know for sure that it is coming from the car's interior and not the front suspension (another common issue).

It's definitely in the dash, it seems like it's coming from just under the air bag. Sounds like plastic rubbing metal or something.

That sounds very familiar, and something I've read about on other posts, but I can't remember what the solution is.

I have similar problem with my 2006 GS300 and I only have 83k miles on it. My dash creaks on the front top and the rear windshield creaks when it 70 degrees out or more, it drive me crazy.

Same issue. Jumped from the navigation console area to the passenger dash area. Even took out the whole entire center console, including nav, checked for any loose parts in the vent area as well as anywhere I've touched from doing the nav hack. Piece by piece I slowly put it back together assuring every bolts, tabs, and etc are fitted snug. Viola!!!









Still rattles! Haven't had time to dig through the glove compartment and footwell area yet.

Wow that was a ton of work you did I hope it solved the problem.

Same annoying issue with my car - 2008 GS 350.
Take it to Lexus dealer - have technician check / replace the windshield wiper CLIPS - may solve the rattle problem.
