Unhappy Rattling in the rear! PROBLEM!

So i have a used is250 RWD MT
and occasonaily when i sit the car outside under the sun, something in the back would rattle. Its either a rattle or static from the sub, but this only happens when the car is under direct sun light for a long time.

Does anyone else have this problem?

It is probably the same back window creaking noise problem.

If so, I fixed mine by following Lexus GS TSIB (can be found in that thread). I had to partially remove the headliner to reach the plastic tabs that were creating the noise.

I had this annoying rattling noise from behind with my car before. After many visit at the dealership it shows up that the problem was the rear windshield. The tech had to re-glue the whole rear windshield to get rid of the problem. No funny noise after that.
