Yeah if you just have a chip I’d repair it. If you get a crack/webbing then I’d consider it, personally. Regarding Safelite I would avoid like the plague. Even the tech that finally set my windshield correctly, told me explicitly avoid Safelite. My 2 cents (and what I’ve gathered from the...

Are you getting any wind noise/whistling in the highway?

Hey, so the same guy replaced the windshield but with a “Toyota” branded windshield. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s Toyota branded or not but the top seal of mine is perfectly flush now without any ridges. For reference the first windshield the tech installed was about $450, the Toyota brand...

This should be stickied for reference!

Is this the part I'd get to replace on my 2017 that has a leak issue now, post-windshield replacement? I've heard the price was supposed to be in the $200's but looks like it's gone up. Thanks in advance!

Is this the part you purchased to replace your cowl assembly? I couldn't find a ~$200+ part, just this $527 for my 2017 200 that's having a leak post windshield replacement. Thanks!

I appreciate this. I’ll definitely review this against mine.

I don’t blame you, I was incredibly hesitant to go through with it for this very reason.

I recently replaced the windshield on my 200 Series based on recommendations from this forum, using a 3rd party company Lexus of Austin referred me to (which I won’t name yet). After installation, I noticed the seal at the top was very wavy and made a lot of wind noise above 60 mph...

Thanks for the advice! I’ll definitely take note on the day of install and after.

Resurrecting this thread- I’m taking my 2017 into Lexus of Austin this week for a windshield replacement thanks to everyone’s advice on here! They’re charging me ~$1,300 all in, does that price sound like it’s in the right ballpark? Also, do they replace the surrounding liner that goes up to...

I use BeatSonic as well, installed it myself one Sunday afternoon and find it totally worth the price. Audio and everything works well, also the factory GPS still works whereas I heard some other solutions render the stock GPS non-functional.

Oh thanks for the heads up! I'll swap out the belt altogether if the issues doesn't resolve after I wipe it clean.

I (edited) removed their name.

Ohh so any coolant on the belt even if old/dried could cause a squeak? TIA!
