BALOO BELLE

well if there is a way to reset the auto open/close then the option got deleted, cause it dissappeared the day i disconnected the battery. I was wondering what the connection was! ...which also changed the way the navi worked. i found one setting that was the most annoying. i can live with the other i have no idea where the option is hiding at. not working wrong just different :) and i did see some updates but they were for 04?? and 150$. i think i saw a new one for 250 but i can go to lexus and get it for that. SERIAL#s ?? a part number or the generation code? what generation am I? lol i need to be-friend someone who works in Lexus parts...Employee Discount as far as the speakers go I have a cool cat that can do the panel removal for resonable. i do not think i will have them reconned? i will just have the break in the paper sealed with some automotive glue that can take the heat. the holes cant be more than .5 in since there is only noise with certian songs. and if the speakers mess up agian i will replace them. the repaired sub has lasted 8 months. I dont crank it too high! The lady that had it never used it. well im at 85,000 so i am due in 5 for a tune up, timming belt, water pump, fluid flushes, brakes, filters...etc MY CAR WILL BE NEW AGIAN I just got 4 new yoko tires. and I have a personal mechanic so I will only have to pay half the price! And he will clean any sensors and throttle body stuff. he is good like that.

I have a 02-300 and wondering if anyone knows where to get a 08 or 09 upgrade from...besides the dealer. i have a mark levenson sound system. I bought used and when I got the car no one had ever pushed the speakers or adjusted the equalizer. The sub blew, upon removal of it we found that the speaker was perfect in great condidtion the glue had dry rotted and disconnected from the metal frame. A month later all the mids blew...i think but not near as bad. I only hear the farting noise with old skool Lynard Synard! Every day listening I do not have a problem with. It is only certian songs that do it. Has anyone had a problem with dry rotting glue? The car is from Arizona so I would assume the heat woud speed the process??? I really want to keep the car original and just glue the freaking speakers, they are more than I need. I was having issues w the sunroof that seemed like the linkage was off or a motor was going. I lost the auto open/close feature and noticed that when you popped the roof one side of the window was moving a different rate. I looked over everything and only noticed that when sliding the roof open that the glass was at an angle and I tugged on it and moved it back to the proper place. That did not fix anything. The next time I slide the roof back I held the button too long and heard 3 cracking noises coming from it. The problem fixed itself some how..the auto open/close came back and the movement issue if fixed. Three months later the roof is working perfectly but I have agian lost the auto open/close feature. Anyone have this problem or know why? I also wanted to upgrade my throttle body....I dont know anything about that but, that it will increse hp light to light and help get better gas mileage. Do they make aftermarket upgrades or can i get one used from a V8??? Either way I need to at least have the old one cleaned.

I went to a shop I had previous experience with Charlie's Auto Glass. The tech that did the 2nd installation has 20yrs exp. That dude, is who does the installations at the Lexus dealer! From what I hear they have a great reputation. They used PPG which has a good reputation. The dude that did the original installation had no clue and kept the new pad. I kinda though it was the pad! They broke the sensor casing and put on stupid rain gutter molding that makes as much noise as the freaking 2ft hole in the glue seal did. To help keep the scratches from rusting? The closest used windshield is 600 miles away and they wont ship them past 100. I can get one w no rain sensor 90 miles away. The shop I would have it done at helps prosecute fraudulent glass repairs...that end in injury. He uses factory glue and clued me into the foam damning, gave me a piece to take back to the other shop to ask about. He was recommended by my personal mechanic that has 20 years exp with the county. I need advice on used glass. i personally would feel safer in w a used oem windshield then the crap on there now. It sounds like my windshield is going to crack into pieces in about 40 degree weather. Ive experienced an air bag busted aftermarket windshield! A used oem that has been hot wired once that is way better quality = stronger than an after market that vibrated against my car for 9 months and has been hot wired twice, that makes scary glass noises. the loud repetitive cracks come from the outside perimeter of the glass which is suppose to be the weakest part of an after market windshield. when the weather warms you can hear the noise pitch drop and they move through out the glass. That means stress fractures cause there is weak spots everywhere. The good guy is going to tell me to go aftermarket so i do not know if i can get him to back the oem or if he would support a used piece of glass. I'm rather scared to reinstall cracking glass and am not sure as to how much damage hot wiring does. if i go to court.... then I can get lost wages 500$ and growing rapidly. Ive lost another $500 in paint plus another say 600 for a used installation or 1,500 for new. Court cost...if I go w my attorney will be paid by the glass shop. So the guy can settle for paying the cost on parts and for the installation at the new place or we can go to court for $3,000 at his cost. I'm weighting my options and collecting info. :o The shop owner is a scum bag. i complained about the cracking noise before the second installation and they put the glass back on the car, if the problem wasn't workmanship of the glass then... they didnt put the foam damns in....why? so i can buy the $1500 windshield from them... then let me leave w a broken sensor then tell me to go to lexus its not us. that lexus would not drive the car to test for noises. Would he have treated you guys like that... preying on the naive. I just fought my way out of a 6 month lemon law case, i dont want to fight anymore! that is why i bought used so i never had to take my car anywhere but to who i trust! found the exact make and options i wanted for the exact price i wanted. i paid almost 900$ to have my car shipped from CA and 500 for my ex-es plain ticket to test drive it. This is the exact car i would build brand new in any brand. even the freaking color of the wood, upgraded chrome rims, and navi.

Hello, To make a long story short I was lied to about the quality of the replacement by the glass shop and insurance company I had my windshield replaced by. Had I known OEM was 1,200$ vs $200 aftermarket do you really think I would have pulled the windshield out? NO NO NO. I have had a leak repaired and the windshield reinstalled. The rain sensor running constantly and the common cold weather cracking and poping that radiates from the entire windshield. And they did about $500 dollars in paint damage It seems they may have left out the foam damning that provides support to keep the windshield from over flexing in cool weather creating the cracking noises. I can not ever know until the windshield is removed agian! 3rd time for the after market windshield and the 4th for my baby. The shop refuses that there is any problem and blames my car! Geico has washed there hands of it cause they are not affiliated with the shop. Lexus will not document anything specific w the glass cause they do not want to be involved in a court case or responsible to replace it. I have no option but come out of pocket and sue! FOR ME I want the freaking old piece of Lexus glass back. To replace the windshield and have it done right the very first time and not have any issues ever agian it needs to be replaced with 1500$ OEM windshield. In which I still have to have the shop that does it testify that the glass needed to be replaced. WHo is willing to do that? Does anyone have any bad/good exp with used OEM glass or have had the same type of problems with aftermarket? I NEED TO HANDS ON MOLEST A LOCAL 02 - 6/04 WINSHIELD as the aftermarket seems to have a different shape. AND TEST MY RAIN SENSORS IN IT TO VARIFY THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SENSOR. Lexus will no longer reply to me. ANY ONE LOCAL WILLING TO PARTICIPATE? I'm in Lake Worthless, FL
