As a prior owner of an RX330, I still get these alerts. I purchased a 400h and did have the problem with the window moulding coming off - flapping furiously in the wind at 70 mph! My dealership replaced the moulding and the window at no cost. I would contact the service department manager, and if that fails, the regional service manager. They should cover the expense for you.

My warranty has expired. Do you think they will still cover that?
thanks

What does this loose molding look like?
with our 2004 RX330 with 41K miles, I hear some thing flapping while driving even at 40-50mph. I sounds like one of the luggage carrier racks is loose, but all luggage rack parts are tight in place.
This flapping noise from outside is annoying in otherwise very quiet ride. When I look at the rear ( left and right) quarter panel window moldings, they appear tight in place. Could it be that they are loosely in place and when wind goes around it then it starts flapping?
I have never had this type of noise from any other vehicle we have owned.
Thanks,
Joe

Yes, my warranty had expired. Also, for the individual who asked what the loose moulding looked like, it is the rubber around the rear passenger window area. In my case, it was on the passenger side of the car, and I could see it flapping when I looked in my right side mirror. Typically, you have to be going 50 mph or so to have the problem occur. Hope this helps!

I thought of this after my prior reply . . . on my RX400h, I've had the moulding at the top of the roof come loose after going through drive through car washes with brushes or fabric scrubbers. You might look at those strips (there are two, running the length of the roof) to see if they are in securely. You can push them back in by hand, and that should solve your problem. Avoid car washes that aren't touchless!

Loose Visors

My 2004 RX330 has 110,000 miles and still going strong! The visors on both sides have worked loose. As I am many miles past having warranty coverage, I'd like to tighten them up myself, if possible. Anyone know how to do this?

I have a 2005 RX330 with 35K miles, bought new. Replacing front discs at 35,160 miles. Rears still in good shape. Lexus says brake warranty stops at 1 yr/12,500 miles. Surprised and disappointed.

That's pretty typical since brakes are a wear item and not everyone treats them gently. Front brakes do most of the work so it's normal for them to wear out faster than the rears too.
