Default Intermittent rattle from rear door window

Hi have an intermittent rattle from one of my rear windows. It happens at least a couple of times a day and recently has been when the car has been sitting cold for around an hour. When you press on the top corner towards the front seat belt area it seams to top. The car has been to Lexus a couple of times and they have padded the door card and replaced the rubber around the window itself, but the rattle is still there.

Does anyone have any suggestions to what it could be? I have spent hours searching the internet and all that I can find is a possible loose bolt on the runner caused a similat problem but this was on a first gen IS300. The problem is that because the rattle is so intermittent and Lexus has only heard it on one occasion, they are not sure what to do next

Thanks in advance

I have some rattle noise I thought was from the passenger side and sometimes seems to be from the back. Then found out that's from the moonroof. I'll take it to the dealer to fix soon.

Let us know how that goes. I think my rattle is coming from either the sunroof or the center taillight housing, hell maybe they're both taking turns lol.

So I finally took my car to the dealer yesterday, and the service consultant got a tech to ride with me for a few minutes when I drop the car off. I got it back today and the rattle noise is gone. The invoice shows he replaced the housing sub-assy and cable sub-assy.

They also found my missing sock when cleaning my car -- that was missing for a few months lol
