  1. i have an 08 rx350. bought it in nov 2007. started seeing white dust by dec 07. lexus of greenwich replace the evaporator air assembly. took them 4 days to do as they had to take off the dash. seems like the powder is starting to come back. occasionally i also get the moldy smell. i am afraid of taking it to the dealer after the warranty is over. please all those who are having this problem, we need to call lexus and let them know, so they do something about it and we are not stuck with big bills post warranty period. if someone knows who to call and at what number please let all the others know. Until we all speak up, we wont be heard. thanks y'all
  2. sorry for the delay in replying. I will check with my contact and will let you know in a couple of days. i use the rack for a max of 2 pair of skis or 1 board and 1 ski par and it seems just fine. How did you find the thule in terms of functionality and ease of use compared to the oem? I will keep you posted.
  3. hey. i was happy buying the ski rack off craigs for a fraction of the cost and the guy was in my town so delivered it to me at home. but i dint check the parts and realized later that it was missing a cylinder bolt and the rack would be no good without it. so i contacted the seller and he said he will see what he can do. in the meantime i contacted a local dealer only to hear that they would only sell the whole adapter set of 4 for 60$. thats intentional extortion cos they know that no one else makes these and i understand there is a reason why the manufacturer has kept them unique and hard to copy. luckily, the guy who sold me the rack knew someone at the dealer and was able to get a single bolt for me for 15$ for which I reluctantly had to share the cost with the seller. better than 60$. If i had known there were others like me out there, i wouldnt mind buying the whole adapter set and then splitting with others. Now, knowing that there are others in the same situation, i would perhaps buy a set and keep the leftovers for the future or for others. these little screws and bolts are rather easy to loose and hard to find. please let me know if you would rather have just one bolt and i can request the guy who sold the rack to me to help me with one more or you could try a machine shop. worst scenario, try and find something at a hardware shop that would fit the screw, which i wont recommend cos it could be a hazard. hope this is helpful and if u decide to buy the whole set, i and others would know who to contact if we are in need. thanks
  4. I have an 08RX350 that has 15k miles on it. I hear some grinding noise when the vehicle is stationary, either in P/R/D. The noise is not as much on a flat surface as much it is when the vehicle is on an incline-upward or downward. Here is how I get that noise - I usually park my vehicle on a slight upward slope- 1. With the vehicle in 'P', when I turn the steering either side all the way, I hear a loud grind from the rear. The noise is more and higher when the steering is turned all the way than when it is turned a little bit. No brakes are involved in this demonstration. 2. Then I move the shifter to 'R' to get my vehicle out of the parking spot. As I release the brake slowly, I hear the same loud grinding noise now coming somewhere from both front and rear. With the grind, I can feel some (very minor) vibration on the steering wheel. The grinding is predominantly on releasing the brakes. On applying the brakes, the grind is very minor. When I park the vehicle on an absolute flat surface, the noise is not as much. I understand that if the vehicle is old, the squeaking and grinding noise could be related to worn out brake pads, but why would I hear the noise when brakes are not involved at all and just the steering wheel is turned, as described in 1 above. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they say there is nothing wrong. Any insight will be appreciated. Thanks
  5. Thanks! I just bought a Lexus ski rack from craigslist. Unfortunately its missing a bolt (cylindrical shape). I contacted the vancouver dealer and he cant sell me one bolt but sells the whole pack of 4 nuts and bolts for $60. Thats insane! Can someone please help or suggest something. I am not sure if I can find a cylindrical bolt that will fit this ski rack, anywhere else. Thanks
  6. Does anyone have a Lexus ski rack installed on their RX? If yes, Does it hold well on the roof? Does it rattle or wobble? Does it effect the gas milage? What are your suggestions on Lexus ski rack vs Yakima or Thule? Thanks,
  7. Hello I have an 08RX350. The passenger side rear view mirror auto tilts all the way down when the vehicle is put in Reverse, but the Driver side mirror tilts only 1cm or so. I think the Driver side mirror used to tilt more when I purchased the vehicle but I am not sure. Can anyone confirm whether the driver side mirror is supposed to tilt only 1 cm or should it tilt down more like the passenger side mirror. Thanks a lot, Raj
