Default something rolling around behind the dash?

After having the car a few weeks now, i'm starting to drive more aggressively. Now i've noticed a knocking sound coming from the glove box. So today I removed all items from it, tested it again, ..still there. The sound is like a ball rolling back and forth when sharply turning the wheel left, right, left right... Guess it's time for a visit to the dealer? Anyone else have this annoyance?

On a side note, just did the Nav hack this past weekend, ..cool DIY mod!!

Hmmm, do ya think the two are related?!? You almost certainly left something behind would be my guess.

damn, I feel so stupid now, ...it was my sunglasses in the overhead. I thought I had checked everything. Glad I found it before i went to the dealer, ...I would have really felt an an ****.

However, this leads me to wonder why that compartment doesn't have some padding on the sides, ...doesn't Lexus know people use those compartments. I'll add some craft foam on the sides to remedy my minor complaint.

Bring your car in and tell them your problem. See if they know what their doing in there. Would be funny if they tell you the problem is something else beside your sunglasses.
