Default glove box rattle 2011 450h

I noticed that I have a Glove Box rattle on my 2011 450h.
Anyone else have this issue?

I've had this on my 2007 GS350 and the dealer swapped it out for a brand new Glove Box lid.

Yes, I have the same problem with my 2013 RX450h. It's the single problem I have with the vehicle since delivery. We both just need to make an appointment with Lexus Service to have it repaired -- no big deal. As a matter of fact, it's on my to-do list for this morning.

I have to take it all back, as I had a big red face yesterday morning after taking my Lexus in to have this solved. Ended up being the quarters occasionally chattering in the new 2013 felt-lined coin slot on top of the console by the seat vent/heat controls. I thought I had lined a bunch of quarters up as tight as they would go in there, but no, I didn't. My simple solution: No more quarters in my quarter holder.

The Lexus folks were more than kind through my apologies, saying it's all part of customer service. No charge. I even had a cappuccino made for me in a fancy white cup while I waited in an over-stuffed chair watching ESPN on a 60" screen, until my self-imposed shameful departure. So, my 2013 RX450h had no glove box rattle and remains perfect since delivery 5 weeks ago.

Sadly I will always be poorer than you in my 2010 RX450h that doesn't have your felt lined quarter holder .

I thought someone would appreciate some part of that post. Reality is, Lexus could fix this in the next gen -- and you'd be ahead of me then -- by putting in one of those old-style compression springs to push the quarters together. Remember the old plastic coin thingys that held pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters with the springs in one end of each chamber ...or am I dating myself too much?
