oh god... i should have just done that... now i am taking the car into service to get the pillar addressed LOLOL... could not get it snapped in properly... i am hoping that maybe they can do the wiring for me as well.. as hopeful as that sounds XD
After adding the circuit, the fuse cover no longer closes....it it not critical. I just keep it somewhere in the vehicle in case i need to refer to it..

good luck with ur repair
Thanks doclin! I hardwired to the p.outlet and the hazards... I think that works 🤷🤷🤷 lol
does anyone have the TSIB for this issue (or any other potential rattles??) I had a console rubbing/creaking where the console divider/handle meets the dash. They insulated that and mostly fixed. But now that I don’t hear that noise, I’m hearing a constant creaking and at times rattle like something is loose in the back. Also is anyone else’s passenger seat move? Not just the back but the whole seat moves and dealer keeps saying it’s not an issue. For a 120k car this thing is so loud. Don’t think I’ll ever buy a first model again. I got the RCF first model and had same issues. Think it takes a couple years for Lexus to make a vehicle quiet. So aggravating!
I am happy to report that i received my LC back today and finally the tapping/rattling is gone! Three times a charm! The service description is below.
SERVICE: FRONT/REAR BODY
DESCRIPTION: FRONT/REAR BODY ~ ~CUSTOMER STATES THERE'S A RATTLE NOISE PRESENT INSIDE THE CABIN UNDER WARM/HOT CONDITIONS; REPEAT CONCERN. SEE: TECH 80217 ~ ~INSPECTION REVEALED BACK GLASS ALIGNMENT PIN RUBBING C-PILLAR. ~ ~TECHNICIAN REMOVED BOTH REAR C-PILLAR PANELS IN ORDER TO GAIN ACCESS TO ALIGNMENT PINS. TECHNICIAN RE-INSTALLED USING NEW RETENTION CLIPS; REMOVED PLASTIC ALIGNMENT PIN (FTS ASSISTED W/ REPAIRS).
Glad you finally got your LC fixed! I'm taking my LC in tomorrow. Can you tell me if the sound that you were getting is the same as in my attached recording? You may need to turn the sound up. Also, I find that my iPhone replay of the sound (high-pitched) is more accurate than my PC speakers (low-pitched). Thanks!
I am in Dallas and have taken my LC back to the dealer four times now. Service has done many of the same "repairs" as others here with no resolution. Sound from glass roof keeps coming back. Anyone local or otherwise reach out to me so we can create awareness. Definitely not what I expected from Lexus!
All, thanks for sharing your experience! I read through the thread and i am going to be taking the LC in to address the squeaking/rubbing sound from the rear cabin. Want to confirm if anyone have been able to fix the issues with Lexus dealership, please share if you are successful.

would be be helpful if anyone knows if there are TSIBs for these issues. I don’t know how to access but also hate the mutille returns trying to get all these rattles resolved.
I'm guessing it's around the high mount brake light. Seems to be common, and there's a pending TSB coming for that ever so slight rattle/ticking up there. Have to pull the headliner to fix.
I have the same issue with my LC500 Sport Package with the glass rooftop. I love my car so very much, yet this is the only complaint and disappointment I have. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?
Great news! The dealership actually fixed my squeaky noise issue! After taking apart of the back seats, they were able to locate the sound and it was from the cross support that is located underneath the thigh (the metal bar on the left of the picture below). They found the sound when the frame flex so they added insulation and tighten up a couple of bolts. So far so good! No more annoying squeaky sound. I thought the sound was high up but they checked the lining and the brake light and found no issues. Anyways, I am a very happy owner once again! Good luck with your fixes.
I was able to remove pillar a but not reattach it 😂😂😂😂
can you tell me how to? I think I have to do something with this plastic switch. Also where did you fuse tap into and ground? Thank you
did you run wires in front of the airbag? i wouldn't do that. for obvious reasons. there's much better places to pull power from then by running wires up the a pillar. i assume LCs come with a sunroof switch/map light assembly? if so, look there first w/ a multimeter
Mine is back at my Lexus dealer for the second time for the noise coming from the third brake light assembly. First time they fixed it it lasted four days..total quiet and then it returned. Not as loud as before but still noisy even over interstate speeds in the car. Dealer had TSB in the attempt to fix it initially.
