Just look the TSB pdf in the beggining.
You will see the location of the clips.
If the car is still under warranty everything can be fixed by Lexus dealer free of charge with the new parts Lexus has produced.
There is also a new rubber seal that goes to the the middle of the dash on the top of heat exchanger.
Cars made after 2008 don't have these problems because Lexus upgraded the quality of the clips (Rubber ones).

If you have the pop or rattle then the TSB is valid also for your ride

Just booked the car in, They will give me a courtesy car while they take my dash apart. They had no problem with my concerns, just said they will install the new hardware, so it went as smooth as it can go. Can't wait, the rattlings driving me nuts

2008. I get the popping/cracking sound a few minutes after I shut off the heater. So yes, it's heat related of expansion/contraction. Dealer knows about it, but I haven't gone for the fix.

I get these as well. Im going to try the eraser method since my cars out of the basic warranty period. does anybody have squeaking problems with the seats??? its only the driver seat and only happens when you enter or leave the seat on mine...Its even more annoying than the dash rattling.

Believe it or not, what got rid of all my problems as piece of foam between the passenger door and edge of the frame. Got rid of all the squeaks pops and groans--just drove cross country after it and no noise. I was really happy because i had my kids who slept alot, and I had complete silence.
