BRAKATK

Hey all, Well, after only 23k miles since I had it repaired, my moonroof won't close all the way again. The dealer says the actuator cables have broken (for the second time!!). The dealer says the warranty on the repair is 1 year/unlimited miles, so Lexus cannot repair it under warranty. They want to charge me...are you ready for it....$1200 to replace the cables. that is what I said. I asked if they could just lock it shut or somehow close it all the way and they said their technician tried and cannot. They suggested I use a block of wood or make a metal piece to hold the driver side up/shut (the passenger side is all the way up and shut). Any ideas other that coming up with $1200? Much appreciated.

Just read this and other posts on the topic. The motor running indicates a snapped cable is the likely issue. Order it off Ebay and follow the detailed instructions and you should be fine. It take less than an hour to fix.

The seller/email was "GLG Direct." Have you done a search on ebay for "Lexus GS 300 Antenna Mast?" Should be there... :)

Thanks for the pic! It does look a little banged up, but with the turbo and all inside, you should be blowing by many riders of the LA freeways! Show a pic of the motor etc when you get a chance. I have an Aristo front strut brace on mine. Good luck!

Hey guys-Pls do a search on the forum for foglight removal replacement and you find a lot of stuff/pics etc. Also on polishing and getting rid of the yellow. goodluck!

Sweet ride you got! Post some pics of it. Is RHD illegal? Let us know what's up.

My 93 has clear Silverstars for the fogs. What yellow bulbs are best to try?

I wrote another post (somewhere?) on this before but to sum up my experience with the ContiExtreme: it is a very grippy tire wet and dry, good value, but for me was ultimately too loud and rough riding at higher speeds to buy again.

I have removed stickers and emblems with alcohol (like rubbing alcohol) to dissolve the adhesive and not harm the paint. That's my experience-good luck!

Everyone who is modding their car should learn to do this and do it periodically after lots of "stop and go" driving. It really makes a difference on my 93 everytime I do it.

Thanks John-I will let you know how it turns out. :P

I have LLumar brand tint and it has held up great for years now. B)

Mequiar's Mirror Glaze (Cleaner, Polish, and Detailer) will make them look new again and keep them looking great. Polishing compound and a buffer can remove any stains or larger scratches. If the seal on the light has been broken for a while you can have condensation and discoloring from the inside, which would mean opening the light assembly or replacing altogether. Here is my 1993 headlight:

Hey jv-I am about to put new rear rotors and pads on this weekend. I have new rotors for the front also, but am waiting until the current fronts wear out. They are drilled and slotted and zinc plated. Any tips/pitfalls to avoid on installing new rotors front or rear (or pads?). I am keeping the front pads (they are newer OEM type pads). Thanks!

Keep up the good effort and I am sure it will all come together. Then you have to document the whole thing so I can do it when my son inherits this car. I hope to see the finihsed project at some national or regional meet someday.
