Default Driver Side Window Squeak & Vent Rattles

As the title suggests the driver side window is squeaking when i roll it up and down doesn't happen all the time and just recently started making this noise (last two days). I've tried spraying the tracks with silicon lubricant (wd-40 brand) hopefully this helps/fixes it. Anyone else experience this issue? Its a 2015 Lexus GS350 F-Sport with only 55,000 kms so this is odd to me since none of my other cars make this noise and they have well over 150,000 kms on them.

Second thing is the drivers side & passenger side vent rattle when going over bumpy roads (pretty sure the center console vents rattle too) have told Lexus about this and they padded it down but it still does it have considered putting felt in myself but after reading other threads about people doing that and still are unable to resolve that problem it worries me.

Lastly I've got the Bridgestone turanzas El-400 and they are driven on about 8 months a year, they are noisy but i am trying to use them as long as possible, also have a separate set of tires for winter which are used for the remaining 4 months of the year. How many kms more do you think I can get out of these tires?, from what i can tell the tires were probably used for about 40,000 - 45000 kms since the car always had winters for 4 months a year I know it depends on driving patterns but I want to get at least 60000 kms out of them before replacing it. Anyone else with these tires that were able to get a good amount of kms out of them?


Thanks appreciate it fellow GS owners!

If your GS is under Lexus warranty, your local dealership should check the noise, squeak and rattles for free.
