#800 of 866 Re: premium floor mats [sidgriggs] by newr Oct 12, 2007 (7:52 pm)
Replying to: sidgriggs (Oct 12, 2007 2:30 pm) yeah.. I know.. I am trying to figure out what's the difference between "carpeted floor mats" vs. "premium floor mats" which is an option for $255 on the LExus website and listed on the car I bought.   Does anyone know?

Replying to: newr (Oct 12, 2007 7:52 pm) We paid the extra $250 for the premium floormats. They are "thicker" than the thin "carpeted floor mats". They are a little nicer & more plush than the standard mats. They're suppose to be treated with a stain blocker. Personally, I like the ones that came with our '01 LS much better than either one. To me, neither one is as nice as the old ones. But, I like these better than the standard mats. Worth the extra money? Not really sure about that. I guess it's just a matter of personal preferance.

#804 of 866 Lexus LS 460 Wind Noise by renrel Oct 16, 2007 (9:32 am)
I have the 2007 LS 460 and this is my 5th Lexus. I too have the wind noise and I am very upset that neither the dealer, Keyes Lexus, nor Lexus Corp can do anything about it. I spent $65k on a car, and they are doing nothing for me. A lexus should not sound like the window is down and this occurs at speeds as low as 40 mph.   If you are buying this car, make sure you test drive the car you purchase and listen for the noise. It appears that not all cars have it. Replies to this message: tricky73 (Oct 16, 2007 10:55 am)

Replying to: renrel (Oct 16, 2007 9:32 am) I too had a wind noise problem with a 460L which I have subsequently replaced with a 450h. My first Lexus ('04) came from Keyes and recent contacts to buy other vehicles have been very disappointing...I will never go back.   Have you tried Vista in Woodland Hills? That is where I got the 450, and I am particularly impressed with the attitude of the service department. There is a man named "Dave" who seems to know more about all cars in their product line than you will ever want to know. Might give them a call if you are a Valley resident.
#806 of 866 wind noise question, by newr Oct 18, 2007 (11:22 pm)
Hi, I recently got a Lexus LS460.. it's a recent built 07/07..I've read a lot about this wind noise problem...but I am not sure how much "wind noise" is considered normal. Mine seems quiet.. I can certainly hear some wind noise on the highway but i wouldn't say it sounds like the window is open.   So, I am trying to see if mine need a fix or not. I read on another site that there's a fix out and someone even put the VIN number code for those that should require a fix. Mine is above the number which supposedly mean it's already been fix?   Can someone please explain the "wind noise" problem.. I've never owned a LExus before.. so I don't knwo if this is normal or not. Am I to expect not to hear any wind or road noise at all even at 60+ mph? I know I can hear cars driving by and stuff even in normal roads..is that expected or does it mean the window need to be fix.   Any help will be greatly appreciated.   Thanks Replies to this message: tricky73 (Oct 19, 2007 5:24 am) daryll44 (Oct 19, 2007 6:30 am) newr (Oct 21, 2007 1:14 pm)

Replying to: newr (Oct 18, 2007 11:22 pm) Is your vehicle the 460L or the SWB? The 460L has laminated glass all around which should lessen the effects of external noise, whether wind caused or otherwise; i.e. the SWB should be expected noiser than the L, all other things being equal.

Replying to: newr (Oct 18, 2007 11:22 pm) You are prob probably OK. I have one built in April, 2007 with no noise. From what I am reading on the CLUBLEXUS bulletin boards, those who have it DEFINITELY know it. It's almost a whistling noise. And a number of the long wheel base owners have it too...the laminated glass doesn't help that much.   So don't worry about it and drive on! Replies to this message: newr (Oct 21, 2007 1:14 pm)

Replying to: daryll44 (Oct 19, 2007 6:30 am) So when you say you have no noise.. do you mean no whistling noise or no wind noise at all?   I don't experience the whistling noise.. but I do notice wind noises which would probably be within normal for most cars.. just not sure about a LS. I read the service bulletin... and mine won't need any added padding as it's after the VIN change.. but the laminated glass does apply.   Still not sure if it's a good idea to have it taken all apart though!
