Ratling Sound Coming From Dashboard And Front Passenger Air Vent!

[Driver05]

Hi,

I am an owner of 2007 RX 350. It has less than 10000 on odometer and recently noticed some rettling sound coming from somewhere inside the dashboard when the road is less than perfect. In addition, there is also a noise coming from front passenger's air vent every time the road is rough. It might be due to material use in those areas. Thought about taking a car to a dealer but what they going to do, put the dash apart?

Anybody experienced anything similar.

I would greatly appreciate any input on how to fix this.

Thanks.

The one near the passenger air vent may be the air filter which I think is behind the glovebox?? This rattled on mine for a bit.

Less than 1000 miles (RX350 AWD) and my rattle seems to be coming from the left front dash or drivers door and from above the navigation. From past experience with another vehicle I’m not excited about having the service department removing the dash or components.

If you have it checked out, please post results.

The one above the nav could be the top center speaker - if you remove the grill you will find it is held in by 2 * 10 mm screws only. Check to see if they are loose.

Anyone have a fix for this? I hear my rattle (sounds like a crack) from the passenger side, close proximity to the speaker.
