Super Moderator Dave Staff 4.2k 220824 Repairman Reply Dear Dave, When I sent your email to my auto repair shop, they told me that the window was malfunctioning because the window regulator I supplied for the repair is a Toyota Camry regulator, not a Lexus ES300 regulator. When I bought the window regulator, the vendor told me that the regulator was the same part for Toyota Camry or the Lexus ES300 regulator. It is a different part no, but the same part. is the repair company correct, or is the regulator the same? Why would the regulator not work in the ES300?

Thanks. I will check with the auto electric company that installed the window Regulator.

Malfunctioning Drivers Window Dear Fellow Lexus Owners, I have an 01 Lexus ES300. The drivers side window is malfunctioning in the automatic mode after I had the window regulator replaced. When I click the window control for automatic closing, The window automatically closes and then comes back open, about 6 inches. I have to close the window a little at a time to fully close it. Does anyone else have this problem? What is the solution?

It's a nagging problem, every time I roll up the window. JC

What to do about corroded Alloy rims Dear Fellow Lexus Owners, I have 2 ES300s, a 98 and an 01. Both are losing air from the tires incessantly. Yesterday I had one wheel removed, rim cleaned, and tire remounted, $31.50. Does anyone have a better solution? JC

Please get back to me.

Lexus Forum 261122 01 Lexus ES300 Overheating Dear Lexus Forum, I have a Florida 01 Lexus ES300 , with only 95,000 miles which is losing coolant and Overheating. It has only 95,000 miles on it. I seldom drive it over 5 miles at a time. For some reason it usually runs at about 1/2 on the temp gauge, while my 98 Lexus ES300 runs at 1/8 or less and never overheats. Once in a while it has overheated, so I have added water to the radiator. This year I have noticed I have to add water every 2 months, so I had a radiator flush done at Pep Boy's, thinking that the % of water vs anti freeze was too high, so it needed the flush with coolant replacement. Today, I needed to charge the battery so I left it running in the driveway for an hour. When I got back the car had overheated and lost a lot of coolant. I wonder if I need a new water pump, or thermostat, or maybe the radiator itself has gone bad. I don't understand why my 98 ES300 radiator has been trouble free for 20 years, while the 01 ES300 radiator has been a chronic problem. Thanks in advance for your advice. JC

Dear Trevor, thanks for the info. I have been able to get info on TireJect, but not on Slime. Slime is about half the price of TireJect. JC

Dear Fellow Lexus Owners, having had frequent and continuous leaking from the rims of my alloy wheels, I am interested if anyone has used Tireject or Slime to repair the leaks. JC

I just found the following on the Cadillac forum. https://www.cadillacforums.com/threads/tireject-automotive-tire-sealant.1077480/

Thanks, RX400h. I have spoken to my tire repair guy about it. He said that it may affect the balance of the tire, but agreed to help me test the theory. As I have said, TireJect looks good. But I would like to talk with some people who have actually used it.

Dear Mama K, did you use the Slime and did it work? JC
