I don't know what year model RX you have, but my ' 07 RX350 that I've driven for over three-and-a-half years has none of these
issues.

Oh, I forgot....I also have a '07 RX 350. Mileage is 39,000. I have this car about 9 months. The handles always absorbed rainwater, but I recently just noticed the peeling mirrors. There was another Lexus, were I purchased mine, that had splotchy handles without rain..that was a '05 RX 350...maybe it was 330.

Nope. Sorry. Not having these issues. My '07 has just over 51,000 miles on it

Glad you aren't needing to have these things replaced/repaired.
 
I see this on other Lexus RX350/330 in parking lots....peeling, splotchy mirrors and door handles every where I look. I wonder if it has to do with location. I see you are in FLA...well, here in the NE we get hot, too. However, what we get that FLA doesn't is COLD temps. Just a thought. I'll never figure it out. Just need to get to the dealer before the warranty ends.
