Hi

Can someone shed some light as to where the driver side window / Door rattle or clunking is coming from
The rattle is when the window is fully closed driving between 40 to 90 km/hr
It sounds like something is lose inside the door

Thanks ahead

 

It could be this
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/nx-...ml#post9308847, but then every car is different. Just because his car's rattle came from that location, doesn't mean you'll have the same. Best is to just isolate the rattle yourself.

 

Mine was from a loose underbody plastic trim , iirc closer to the passenger side, plastic rivets not holding firmly. If it has too much play it will rattle at highway speeds., It sounded like it was coming from the door! If you wedge something between the panel and the body it will go away. Dealer fixed it for me.

 

Thx all for the insight! I will take a closer look

 

I had the same problem with mine last year. I took it into the dealer and they said a latch or hook was loose inside the passenger door panel and they replaced it. That solved it.

 

I have had my 2016 NX for about a month now and the only complaint I've had since I got it was an intermittent squeak/rattle that seemed to be coming from somewhere by the drivers side at speeds over 35mph. I have tried checking the mirror, the latch insert as noted previously, door panel and nothing seemed to address it or stop it. We finally got warm enough yesterday where I could do a better look around. So I crawl under the car and see that underbelly fiber pan under the drivers side is really super loose and flimsy. WTF Lexus!!!! That thing is pretty large and it seems to only have a few attachment points and only 1 on the outside edge.I managed to tighten up the slightly loose rivet, but when I get more time, I'll be back under there to do a better and more secure job of tightening that up. I tried to listen this morning on my way to work and did not hear anything, so I'm hoping this is the source. I just can't believe that Lexus would do such a poor job of attaching a panel especially one that is susceptible to abuse and contact like this.

 

Hello can you tell me what you tightened Exactly? I have the same issue

 

Check for a loose panel under drivers side door . The plastic rivet that holds the panel in place is undersized and allows too much free play. If you put a wedge between the body and panel and the noise goes away that’s your problem!

 

wow I was able to fix this!


thank so much

 

Hi, we’re you able to fix it? I think I have the same problem. Where approximately is the problem at? Is it directly under the door or do I need to jack it up ?

 

No need to jack it up, you can reach it with your hand . If it’s loose just wedge apiece of foam in there.

 

I didn’t find any loose panels so I am assuming my problem might be the door/window seals. My problem is that when I roll the window all the way full, the door/window makes noise when going over rough pavements or bumpy roads , but if I roll it down a bit, the noises are gone. I saw people putting felt tape on the seals and eliminated the noise. I might go to Ace Hardward and buy that tape to try out. But anyways thanks.
