96 LX450 re-Paint

[Ben Ivey]

Hello all,

Wife's Rig is in the shop getting a face lift and I need to know about the gaskets/pads that go between the body molding and body (on the doors, behind the fender extensions on forward fender and quarter panel). I have the fender extension pads and Lexus doesn't have a expanded view that shows these "body molding" pads, but my auto body guy says he removed some "ol' dry rotted gasket material" can anyone lead me to a source (part numbers) or straighten me out on this?

Thanks ahead of time,

Get a hold of @beno if it is available separately he will be able to source it for you.

This confirms there is no pads or gasket material between the body panels and molding. This is the expanded view I have, I will call Beno just to double check.

Thanks

A lot of what appears to be gasket material is actually double sided sticky tape! I just had my LX 450 drivers side fender off. their was some weather stripping on the flare part, but the sticky tape on the downside vertical.

Any pointers on the removal of all that cladding?
