Funny you should say that. No more than 3 days after I purchased my CPO LX 470 I noticed a small windshield chip/crack. Took it back to the dealership and they replaced the windshield, no questions asked. Although I am used to a high level of dealer service, I was surprised at the ease in which my request was handled. I wonder if there might be a "secret" warrantee on windshields - this might be a known problem.
Interesing post....We just purchased a used 2001 LX470, after owning two other GS300's over the past few years. Had the LX for one week, and when we got in the car , the windshield 'popped', and a two foot crack appeared form the bottom of the windshioeld and across the passenger side. No road damage, seemed to me to be a stress fracture from the lower mounting point.
The car was under the pre-owned warranty, but the Lexus dealership said it would not be covered. Very Diaapaointing. Wish we had another dealership option in the area, but I'm back to BMW's for any future pruchases.
