Mar 31, 2013
What's the best thing to put where the glass meets the rubber to stop squeaking when windows go down and up?

View 7 RepliesIs it ok to tint the windows? what type of tint is the best?
Also, is there a way to check to see if there are any recalls?
On my 2002 SC with 51K miles, the front end is squeaking. BTW, shocks are good...
View 6 RepliesAny simple way to make my rear side windows go up when my top is down. I'm willing to rewire if its fairly easy.
View 9 RepliesThere is a noticeable amount of wind noise on the driver's side (obviously with the top and all windows up). Haven't ridden in the passenger seat so not sure if it's there too.
The top closes perfectly, so I'm assuming it's the driver's side mirror.
I have a 2002 SC430 And its the second one I've owned. And for the life of me. I can't remember if the side windows lowered a little when you open the doors. The past five or so cars I've owned did. But this one doesn't.
To clarify. The windows (Both driver and passenger) Would drop about 1/8" when you open the doors and raise up once the doors are close. is it normal that the Sc doesn't do this?
What a Serpentine Belt is? (how much is it for that part alone and to install at the dealership?)
Dealership told me why during the cold mornings after I start the car up, it is creaking and squeaking........
They told me it needs to be replaced?......
I don't have any kids and I just noticed my V8 had child safety windows (will not roll all the way down)... is there a way to make my rear windows roll all the way down? second, any finding on the squeaking noises and rattling noises in the T-reg?
View 7 RepliesI had the belts changed on my 2004 Infiniti G35 6-Speed Sedan according to the mechanics advice (they were cracked quite a bit). Now that they're changed they make an annoying squeaking noise which is particularly awful when idling with my windows open. When I took it back, he said the pulleys need to be replaced and they are already at maximum tension. They did not squeak before the replacement. Is he right? Or did he just put in a belt that's longer than it should be?

View 5 RepliesI have had my RC-F since November and two days after having it the brakes have been squeaking. I had thought that It would work its way out just had figured since it was new it had to work its way off of the brake pads. I have 1100 Miles on it now and it is still squeaking.
View 14 RepliesThis is a first, for any vehicle I've owned. When my wife went out to the car Sunday AM she found all of the windows on our 2010 RX350 down and the moon roof open. The doors were locked from the night before, and I know for certain all of the windows/moon roof were closed. The only thing I can think of is we are in a flight path for the GSP airport. Our garage door used to go up, from time to time, when planes would fly over.
One other thing I forgot to mention. I replaced the batteries on both of our key fobs Saturday. I hit the lock button to make sure the fob worked, but that was all I did. You can't do anything with the windows or moon roof with the key fob. But what else could trigger them to go down? We've had the car about 6 months.
I need to replace the ECM in an 02 SC430 my question is.......?
If i get my hands on a used one will I still have to Reflash the ECM or will the car start run and drive plug and play?
New owner of a 2007 and 1st post. My antenna goes all the way up and then one of the sections retreats.
View 8 RepliesThe lexus sc430 is nice but when I floor it , there is a 2-3 second delay until she kicks down and really takes off. Someone said there is actually an adjustment on the transmission to eliminate this delay. Never heard of such a thing.
View 3 RepliesJust bought my sc and the top won't go down,when I press the button nothing happens no blinking lights or noise.if I open the windows and press the close button the Windows go up,but when I press the down button nothing happens.
I have the trunk cover close and I checked all the fuses in the trunk but they all seem fine nothing blown that I can see.i disconnected the battery overnight and still nothing. I also checked in the glove box and the button is pushed in like it is suppose to be.
I recently changed my intake to Takeda and I am hearing squeaking noise every time I hit on the accelerator, but only when my windows are down. So I don't know if this is from the intake or something else is wrong.
View 5 RepliesMy 2013 gs 350 f sport sounds like a school bus. I already replace the front pads with a new set of oem pads and had them resurface the disk too. after a couple of hours the noise came back! seems like my lexus dealer can't solve my issue.
View 14 Replies2007 SWB all stock. My break squeaks when backing up, specially backing down slope on a drive way. I also notice my right rear tire have tire wears which might be related to vibration at certain speed (like 76-80).....
Should I check the breaks? Alignment? control arms? Maybe time to search DYI on breaks and see if I can do it or not.
The windows/moonroof wont open when using the fob. I unsuccessfully tried pressing and holding multiple button combos. with every other car I've had. I just had to hold down the unlock button or press it a few time.
View 14 RepliesA little over a month ago, I was headed to the car wash for a final detail before trading my '06 GS300 in for a newer model LS460 the following day. Some dim bulb with no insurance t-bones me, but t-bone might give the impression that the hit was harder than it was. I swerved as far as I could, but he still managed to hit the passenger side rear quarter to the tune of $4500.
I get the car back today, and as I'm checking things out with the body shop (gas door open, trunk open, ps rear door open, factory gaps, blends, details, etc. After we get the gas and trunk to open, I'm content, and I leave. I'm driving down the highway, and I realize that only the DS window will go down. I toggle the window lockout, nothing. I physically reach behind & roll the DS rear window down, then it starts going up & down with the button, like the front DS window. I try the same thing on the passenger side, no workie.
Is there anything obvious I should check? Honestly, I would rather take it to the dealer than take it back to the bodyshop- they pooched many aspects of the repair.
