Default Rattles & Squeaks

Has anyone experienced annoying rattles and/or squeaks in the cabin of the Lexus IS 250? I'm experiencing both around the windshield and front driver & passenger A-pillars in my 2012 Lexus IS 250 RWD.

I'm located in Michigan and the noise has become more pronounced now that it's gotten freezing cold outside (to be expected).

Let me know what you've encountered and your DIY fixes.

Im in Florida with the 2010 IS250 RWD. I can confirm you are right. Most of the rattle is on the Passanger side. The door cup holder thing on the door to the glove box, also rattles kinda up the right side front window. You get alot of road noise of course but the cabins for IS seem alittle hollow. Not as hollow as my 2009 honda accord coupe. Now that baby was loud. But I feel you out their in Michigan. The noise is normal if that helps you feel better. Without gutting the inside and getting that plastic that is so decorated in the cabin, i dont have a DIY for it. Thought i would just post since I have it as well and dident see any comments on this.

2012 250 awd here. I also get the rattles on door pillars mosty from around the seat belt plastic covers, nott really in the dash or windshield unless I'm in bad uneven road and the car is rocking side to side and in that case it's very minor for me. But my doors sound like they are loose when i hit any small bumps or dents in the road and I'm in NY so we those a lot. On smooth road it's like a first class flight
You need to also consider the fact that we're getting into these freezing temperatures so every is all hard and stiff.
i have bc racing coilovers and 14/10 spring rates so that's smooth. I used to have H&R springs and i hated it.
