Default Rattle in dash near driver

I have a 2012 with a noticeable rattle that seems to be coming from the dash near the driver. It is evident with a minimaly bumpy road. It's not enough to run to the dealer until I hit 5,000 miles. just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Did you recently have the car tinted? If so then maybe the person that did it did not put the door panel back right just a suggestion.

I think near the battery will be a good place to start looking for lose or fallen pieces good luck!

The rattle that you are referring too is coming from the top of the steering wheel, Lexus has no idea what makes the noise, not even the engineers from Lexus corporate that looked at my car and drove it with all the steering wheels covers off were able to determine where the noise was coming from. I kept telling them that is from the airbag housing but no solution yet. This is one of the endemic problems of the RX so just turn the radio up and bear with it until you change it.

I had a rattle coming from the drivers dashboard area awhile back. Turned out to to be my sun visor, with the clip on registration and pen holder with pen.
