Thanks for that. I did find one on ebay, but unfortunately it was not the right color.

I took it to my body shop to get looked at so we'll see what they say about it. In the mean time, I'll keep looking for one in the right color!

The leather armrest and leather side trim of my driver's side door are a bit loose as the foam underneath is crushed I'm guessing. Would it be very expensive to replace those components?

Thanks,

Thornton.

I have a leaky headlight on my RX330. Is that going to be expensive to repair?

Have you tried here yet? Maybe they can special order?

I did look there. I think they have the cargo tray, but not the rubber mats, only the carpet. I guess I'll just call the dealership.

I've been looking online for Lexus rubber floor mats and can't find any that are actually made by Lexus. I've found plenty of weather tech products and the like, but where can I get the "real" stuff? This would be for a 2005 RX.

Your local lexus dealer can direct you to their leather people, they have a company on hand they call a few times a week to re-finish or touch up leather on cars before they go on the lot as CPO's. I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself unless you've got experience painting with an airbrush- NEVER try to touch up with a brush or by hand, you won't be able to get a good finish (from experience).

Probably cost around $25 if it's just a quick clean and spray. It's things like rips and tears that bring the cost up.

That's good news! I was afraid they'd have to re do the entire cushion to match it.

Thanks!

Something else you might try is the Langka paint chip and scratch repair. Instead of snading the excess paint around the chip, you take it off with "blob eliminator". I just ordered some for myself so we'll see how it goes!

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the forum, but I've been lurking for a couple of days : )

Problem: I just bought a 2005 RX 330 with Grey leather interior. The leather is in great shape except for a yellow mark on the passenger seat the size of the "enter" key on a keyboard. I thought it was just a smudge I could wipe off when I got home but after cleaning the leather I realized on that spot the dye must have come off exposing the raw leather beneath. I'm a perfectionist so this is really going to bother me. I read through the "Quality leather" post, but find the refinishing process a bit daunting.

Question: If I took this to a body shop would this be an expensive repair? I'm afraid if I try to do it myself I'll make it worse.

Thank You!

Thornton.
