call lexus and complain.. i hope many ppl would complain about this problem.. which is becoming a 'normal' issue to them, to count as something not needed to fix. i hope the fix it before something happen to you.. like it fails, and when the check it and it looks 'ok'.
 
if i have to live w/ the noise, i'm gonna complain til they fix it.

is3fifty...I too had the squeak coming from my sunroof...it was coming from the back of the sunroof where the rubber meets the metal. My dealer here in Atlanta put some type of rubber lubricant on the rubber and the sound is absolutely gone. This was back in April (got the car in late Feb.). No problems since. I often wonder if they did more than they are telling me since it seems the lubricant would've worn off by now...

Is the Atlanta dealer Nalley or Hannesey? I bought my IS350 from Nalley Roswell.

when did you buy your IS? and how loud is the sound? Is it loud enough to the point that pedestrians can hear it?

late August 06. 5500 miles on it now. came in on that dealers last boat from japan so it was made late in the model year.
 
seems to be worse when it is very cold. i havent heard it the last couple of weeks (been warming up in the northeast).
 
i can hear it inside the car with the windows shut, i would assume you can hear it outside.
 
it is also not consistent. when i went in for 5k service i complained and they were silent (of course).
 
it does squak only a small percentage of the time, so its not unbearable.
