Default interior noises during cold weather

is anyone else having loud noises coming from the dash near the center vent going over bumps when your car is cold?
It's really is annoying and would never of bought this 09 is 250 if i realized how annoying the dash noises are !
dealer is useless, but this interior sucks for noises !!
Does anyone know someone at Lexus who may know how to solve this???

You will be looking foward for more other noises. Mines currently is the driver side window run rubbing against the glass. Before that was the headliner.

Im guessing thats the cause of my door rattle because I've noticed it goes away when the window is cracked open... and my headliner right above the driver side visor also rattles. Have you found a fix for either problem?

the rattle is caused by the visor deflecting against the window at speeds not the headliner... to test this put some blue tape between your visor and the window itself i guaranteed you wont hear the noise anymore.
