Not being a smart ass did you install anything backwards? When doing projects like this I have always noticed its a small stupid detail so easily overlooked, because we are trying to look at too big of a picture.
Yah no problem just giving back to everyone one else who has helped on the forum. Thats a huge issue because there is no way to wash the salt off due to it being behind the gas tank.
I also noticed lexus did a revision of the part it looks like the top of the new one is completely flat.
