Yes, I have a U.S.A/2008 LS 460 and have had three fixes to the wind noise re: LF/RF windows of the vehicle with little or no effect. The noise is equlivant to driving with the driver's window down 1/2 inch or standing in a strong wind. Unlike the performance of my three previous LS 400-430's. Friends who have the later models seem to have no problem with noise. So on contacting Lexus I simply requested that the fixes to the problem in later models be applied to my car. Fixes other than glass replacement resulted in no change. Regarding the glass my Lexus/mechanic advised that Lexus installed single glaze glass as opposed to double fused glass which mine has. I always thought safety glass was double fused/laminated glass however I stand to be corrected. Suggestions anyone???

FYI. My 08 Lexus LS 460 came with Lexus option Teleos chrome wheels. Within 2 years they were replaced due to "bubbling " chrome. Two years later the replaced Teleos experienced the same problem. The car is garaged & washed regularly. Lexus is not interested now. Clearly Lexus has a wheel problem that is not shared by other companies ie. M-B, BMW or Acura/Honda.
It's unfortunate that when you produce a quality automobile like Lexus that you fall down in the wheel quality.
