ok so the dealer said they have to check with the tech who did the steering column work but so far they said that the dust cover depends on the 2010 model and where it was made, whether in canada or japan. If the 2011 or 2012 have the dust cover it doesn't mean that my 2010 should have a dust cover. They want to compare EXACT apples to apples meaning 2010 made in canada like mine. They checked a 2010 that was made in Japan and had the dust cover and said they need to find a 2010 made in Canada.
This is weird, so if a 2011 and 2012 have a dust cover, and a 2010 made in Japan has a dust cover, a 2010 made in Canada might not have the dust cover?

It's a B.S. I have 2010 rx350 made in Canada and it has that cover. Also, recently i had the same part replaced and after you posted this i checked my car. All i had to do was pull it with my hands a little up because i couldn't see it there. I hope you get as lucky as me.
What do you mean pull it a little up? Could you take a few pictures to explain? Maybe mine is there but I don't know how to pull it a little up. I tried but...

If it's a $3 part I would just buy it myself. Thing is the part might be part of the whole underdash cover, which could be $150 easily.

With a turned on ignition I reached with my hand into that spot and was able to locate the material cover in there but initially, visually, i wasn't able to see it inside. Once i positioned it in "its place" the noise stopped. It would be hard to make pictures in this particular place. Just reach inside and see if you feel it there and then pull it a little up to cover the hole. Next time I'll be at the dealership I'll ask them to check if i placed the cover correctly.
