  1. How do I remove that whole panel? How is the sunroof connected to the unit? I believe I may have to replace my dads. His homelink looks beyond repair. I see the panels going for $45 used. Thanks in advance.
  2. After reading your posts I did a search for tire wear pictures. It looks like you may be right about the camber being the cause. We will go to Goodyear for a computerizied alignment next week. I believe the trim is the rear black trim but its possible the silver broke off. There is a gap at the top part of the window towards the back. I will look and take a picture of it on Wed when I see him. Thanks again for the help.
  3. Thanks for the help. I saw that jack point in the manual but I figured they might have another jack point on the sides. The trim is on the outside of the drivers window. I have replaced bearings before. In fact I did one last week on my own car but this one is not making any noise. I guess we will take it to an alignment shop but if it was an alignment issue wouldn't the car pull to one side at least a little?
  4. My dad has a 2002 ES300. I try to help him as much as possible since he is nearing 78 but I'm used to different kind of cars. 1. My dad got 4 new tires at Costco a year ago. The passenger side front tire tread is almost gone on only the first 2 inches of the tire facing towards the wheel nuts. The rest of the tread is 100%. He took it back to Costco. They said its not a tire issue. It almost looks like something just scraped the 2 inches of the tire for 10,000 miles but I do not see anything that would scrape it. His alignment seems fine. It does not pull at all. Do any of you know what would cause this? 2. 2 inches of the window trim broke off on the drivers side. Should that trim be replaced as a whole piece or should the missing part just be replaced? Where would I buy that trim? 3. If I want to jack my dad's car up with my hydraulic jack in order to spin his passenger side front tire where is safe jack point? Thanks in advance for any help.
  5. Thanks for the replies. Too bad its not like my miatas that would just stall when the belt broke.
  6. Thank you for the reply. We know the manual says 90,000 but his own Lexus mechanic is saying they can wait till 110,000. Has anyone else heard this? Is there a way to check its condition?
  7. The manual says 90,000 miles but my dads Lexus mechanic says they can usually wait till 110,000. Also is there any way to check the timing belt without a bunch of labor?
  8. Thank you for the reply. I should have been more specific. The drivers lock doesnt open but the other 3 do. :)
  9. When he uses the remote to unlock the doors 3 of the doors unlock but 1 does not. Any idea why this is happening? Is this common?
  10. Thanks a bunch for the reply. Turns out it is a rolling code and I was doing things wrong.
  11. Thanks so much for the response. I thought #2 on the seat menat the passenger seat not a 2nd position for the driver. I will keep looking for something on my dads sunroof. He also says he hears a blunt knock noise once in a while. He said maybe its his breaks. I havent heard it yet. That is my next step
  12. My dad just got a 2002 Lexus ES300 with 68,000 miles. The car seems good except for 2 issues. 1. The sun roof opens, tilts and closes but its very tricky to get closed all the way because it doesnt seem to know when it is closed all the way and keeps going till it tilts up. Is there some trick on how to close it? It sometimes tilts up at the end or makes a clank sound. Shouldnt it know when it is closed and stop? Any advice? 2. The other problem is the memory seat beeps and works right on seat number 1 (drivers) but not on seat 2 (passenger). Any advice? Thanks in advance. Your help will be much appreciated to my 72 year old dad. :)
