  1. I had the windshield on my RX330 replaced with factory Lexus glass and now the rain sensors don't work. The installer took the VIN to order the glass and said he didn't know how they work. Can anyone tell me how to reactivate the sensors? Thanks
  2. The windshield on my 2004 RX330 cracked from the top, right in front of the driver's side. Following instructions given to me to determine if it is stress or not, I ran the tip of a pen up and down the crack and did not notice any chips or resistance. Has anyone had this experience with their 330? if it is due to stress, will Lexus back it up or is it out of warranty? Any info would be appreciated.
  3. I tried to remove the shield that covers the power steering reservoir and broke the 4 clips that hold the shield. I went to a Toyota dealer (close by) and got 4 more clips that, when you push in the center pin, it fits flush on the top of the clip. Can anyone tell me the best way to remove the clip when I want to remove the shield next time. Are the original RX clips available at any parts store? The nearest Lex dealer is a distance from me. Thanks
  4. I've done the routine service on my '04 RX330 and now the 'maint reqd' light appeared on the dash. I changed the oil at 45K and now it reads 48K. How do I shut off/ reset the service light? Thanks in advance.
  5. Lexus wants $300 for the entire bottom shield of which the oil drain access panel is part of. Any ideas (salvage/recycle/aftermarket) where I can buy one inexpensively?
  6. Anyone have or know where I can get the small plastic panel with 4 screws that covers the access to the oil drain plug located underneath the engine compartment? Thanks for any leads.
  7. Does anyone know of or have the small panel with 4 screws that covers the oil drain plug on an '04 RX330? It's screwed into the larger plastic shield that covers the engine. Apparently during the last service at the 'LEXUS' dealer they didn't put it back and now they tell me the whole plastic shield must be replaced because the oil drain cover is not sold separately.

  9. I own an '04 RX330 with 30K. Lately, with the cold weather, it has developed an annoying dash rattle which sounds like it's coming from the top portion of the dashboard . Has anyone experienced this problem and how was it resolved? Is this type of problem covered under the factory warranty? Thanks for any help.
  10. I recently purchased an '04 RX330 and I've noticed since the weather turned cold that there is beads of moisture inside the front headlamps. There aren't any stone chips that would have caused condensation. Is this a common problem or could it be a defect covered under the factory warranty. Please advise if you've had this problem.
  11. With all the negative posts about the old style RX300 ('99-'03) transmission and electrical problems some of which carry over to the RX330 '04, what do people think about buying an '03 versus an '04? Other than the size and cost, what are the pluses and minuses in buying the old versus the new? Thanks
  12. Other than a dealer whose price is $250++, can anyone direct me to a place to purchase a RX300 key with remote. I've seen them on EBay but they don't offer them cut. No one in my area can cut a key including the Lexus dealer. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks
  13. Does anyone know of a place to order remote keys for an '03 RX300? I've seen them on Ebay but they are not cut and the dealers in my area (RI) order them from a company in MI (the dealer can't cut keys). The difference in prices (on line versus dealer) is huge. Any advice would be appreciated.
  14. Are there any issues to be aware of if I decide to upgrade the 16" wheels and tires on my '03 RX300 to the 18" RX330? Is the bolt pattern the same? Any calibration required for the speedometer? How will the ride be affected? Thanks
