The fake wood is starting to peel above the memory seat buttons and I can see a hairline crack. I'm gonna try to squeeze some epoxy in between as a fix. Anyone else have this issue?
The wood on my 2013 LX started to warp in the same spot almost immediately after I bought it. The Lexus dealer had to replace the entire door card as they couldn't order just the wood piece. Seemed like a huge waste to me.
Updating this thread. Not sure if this is a coincidence but the dealer had to remove center console and driver side door panel to diagnose airbag ecu and side mirror wobble respectively.
I did not notice the warping and crack but noticed this now.
Could this have been damaged while at the dealership?
Really common on the lx. Every one I saw had it. I tried to put the slow set super glue behind it with an index card. It didn’t work. Stayed down for only a couple days. I think contact cement would work, but I haven’t gotten back on it to try.
I was able to fix mine by removing the door panel. The wood part unscrews from the rear of the door panel. I used some 5 minute epoxy and clamped a straight edge over it while curing. Superglue or other CA glues will not work because they melt the plastic.
Does anyone know what the wood is coated with? I used glue on mine and ended up getting some on the outside surface. I want to sand off the excess glue, re-coat it, and polish it. I'm wondering if I can use clear coat for plastic.
