Had the fix,didn't take care of the smell ,then I switched the gas, using a higher octance and it's fine , had nothing after 1 year of switching ,

can someone PM me the new TSB for the clunk , I have the 2004 GX 470 only heard it one time , just begining at 10,000 miles , thanks

Came back from my trip to AZ , had to have the front hood repainted , and the front bumper how long to wait to do a wax on the new paint ? thanks

Great item ! thanks for sharing . just need to find PEP BOYS

Thank you for replying! As far as the AC goes - well, I live in Fla - so I'll have to live with the engine fan noise. I am really hoping / praying for no clunk. When I pick up tomorrow - I'm going to ask about the "clunk", and anything else pesky I find in these forums. By the way, I really didn't get a chance to check out the color (we agreed over the phone on the color - black is too hot for Florida) - is it close to a silver or like a powder blue. Do you get many comments and/or compliments when driving this baby? I wish it was tomorrow already! :) Congrats on our new Lexus , you going to love the GX470 , as for the clunk don't let it discourage your thoughts of the Lexus , I've only heard the sound once in my GX , and I'm sitting on the repair just not sure I want to have it repaired , there are mixed reviews on the repair , some good and bad , Lady driver here, I love to drive my GX your Dad gave you the right choice ! I drove my GX to Az & back from Wisconsin , it was a great drive , I owned the RX , the GX is much better , more room , open feeling , the V8 engine beats the RX-V-6 engine , have fun & enjoy driving your New GX !!

thanks all , I got my new windshield , OEM , a Lexus factory windshield , it looks great , the only problem is that they got some of the sealant on my paint finish found it after I left Iw as much to say ^%$# anyway I took some Mequair wax and did a few times of waxing the small area it looks clean, anyone know what else I could use .. I really would have to drive another 187 miles back to get it cleaned, will the sealant damage the Lexus finish , right now it's as smooth as ever and cleaned .

thanks for ther infor,

PM for ya ..

another question? does the front green mean anything, they are saying it's the water-repellent glass??

Anyone know what kind of windshield in my GX470.... it needs to be replaced , my invoice says it's a Front Green, tinted , the Auto body doesn't know ? I do know I have rain sensor wipers thanks for the help ??

in the repair shop today I took the GX 470 to the Lexus dealer shop they use , was told they will be taking their time doing the job so eight days in the shop thanks for all the input update picked up the GX470 ,, not very happy with the grill .had to return to shop they have to reorder they grill has 1-2 inch pits on most of grill .. Yikes not great .. Just tell me why can't they look over the parts before they put the parts on!! GRRRRRRRRRRR!! they had the Lexus for 8 days , then I was told they got the wrong windshield from the Vin Number had to have a glass guy to look at the windshield , they were sure I had the rain sensor Lexus told them not, I always thought the Vin number told it all .. guess it's not so true .. but I do have the sensor windshield it's doesn't say Lexus on the windshield .. PPG glass .. will see how the next grill turns out .

The ends of the dial pointers are supposed to be lit in red. Yours is fine. Have the same thing here .. it's a normal ..

it's not at the Lexus Dealership it's where they work on Lexus's my Dealer doesn't do the auto body work they send to their auto body shop so do I need a Lexus auto body shop ? my insurance has already approved the amount.. I'm mad for the Auto Body shop ( Lexus) is pushing me to get parts ordered and get theLexus done .he went as far to ask me for my agent's name so he could acll and tell him it's all been approved .. he's bit too pushing I told him when I was ready I'd call. so what's up with that you think?? nothing like having some one tell you what to do ??@#$@ Obviously they'd be pushing the service faster because you are using their loaner and they want their loaner back ASAP. If you tried to look for other reputable body shops, it might have been better for you. If you went with another body shop, I would think insurance would still get you a rental car, just not a Lexus but it's good enough if you're satisfied with the service. Now I'm not getting a lexus for the loaner ..I need to get a rental my insurance will pay for one . Bergstrom has a dealership in another town that does the body shop work for the area (it's own by Berstrom also ) that 'swere I need to go for any body work.. It a nice large body shop compared to the toyoyta dealership .. I want the work done good.

2004 Gx 470 Gold

thanks for the infor .. yes insurance company is paying the bill $4500.00 plus the loaner .. less $100 deductible . I went to auto body shop that does the Lexus repair through the Dealer now I was wondering if I should try a toyota body shop ? any feed back ?

My trip to Az and back .. the trip back I hit the bad storms in New Mexico and have some damage to GX .. windshield is pitted , grill is chipped not too mention the front bumper , front sides , had lights are pitted some of damage but enough it looks terrible . the chips are down to the metal .. I'm being told I need a Lexus Certified Repair shop .. Bergstrom was suggested , My question is they will paint the hood , then blend the paint on the fenders replace the grill .. replace the head lights , paint the front bumper , so does anyone know much about blending the paint ? is the repair worth the job being done right ? any help appreciated thanks

had some small crack due to impact of stones while traveling on I-40 through New Mexico but nothing out of the ordinary

Sorry to hear about that..

I went to have a fix for my GX470 .. being the cargo net .. my Lexus came out with all 4 rims scratched .. they are no telling me there is no way they did it.. I spoke with the Service Manager he says it was not their fault .. now I'm stuck with 4 rims scratched.. what's a person too do.. ?? this dealer in Wisconsin has always had bad service .. thanks for the vent

I have mine since 10/09/2004 and no clunking yet ..

I only have 8,000 miles on mine, so I can't help much with service costs, since all I have had is oil changes. What is that protective paint thing though? I hope you didn't pay 1,000 bucks for basically a nice wax job. ← I only have 4000 miles on so I can't help you either ..only oil changes here they were given free (4 oil changes ) .. I've heard abput the propective painting .. no I know has had any problems yet ..

Let us know how the one that Lexus Of Brookfield sells works out. That's where I'd go to buy one as well. ← I'll be coming down to Milwaukee on Thursday .. I sure will do an update .. strindl ...thanks for the Info..
