Default Clicking noise

I have a Clicking noise where the radio is its below it on the sides of the middle console. Like if your leg hits it, it will click , click ,click. Does anyone know what this is and should I have Lexus look at it when I bring it in for Valve Springs?

I have the same thing but only on the passenger side, pretty sure it is just a couple pieces of plastic clicking against each other when pushed on. If you have it looked at during recall let us know the results!

I have it in my car too. It doesn't bother me. I just ignore it.

Yeah, I had it too on my car I bought it to the dealership's attention and they fixed it for me. They put some stripping on it so it won't make the noise again..

I had it on my car too, It still does it...the dealer said they wouldn't fix it for me cause my car was a buyback and that was the main cause of the buyback, but I'm covered on everything else. There is a TSIB on it, its a bracket behind the radio in the dash that has pressure on it causing it to "click/pop" all they do it put a different bracket in, I'm tempted to do it myself since they wont do it for me.

Thanks
