Gbhrps, I can happily report that the problem of noises from the panoramic roof area has been fully resolved. The solution was exactly as you suggested/recommended! As you will expect, it's not so easy to find a Lexus dealership in these parts though a number of Toyota dealerships is readily available. But I chose to patronise a local repair shop who I was assured would handle the job easily and yet not cost an arm and a leg! Also note that the issue of warranty did not apply due to the way I bought the used car. Besides, with the dealerships here, apart from the astronomical cost, your car would have to be on the queue for days- could be weeks... These guys did a fantastic job. Dismantled the entire top fixed what needed fixing and tested the car with me and released the car all within 5 hours! And guess the cost? $50 only..... To give you the extent of the labour that went into the job I have attached a video and some photos below. Goes to show the ingenuity of local technicians and artisans in the third world. These guys handle all sorts of car repairs and are not specialised on any particular brand. If they could just have the enabling environment and conditions not even the sky would be their limit! The car is completely noise-free now!!! And everything works just fine and no fault indication from any sensor post-pair. 20160917_152725.mp4
