Hi, I love this truck, the ride, reliability plus I have a real bias towards LCs in general. That being said, I am very dissapointed in the state of the sheet metal near the w.stripping of the windshield (pic attached) of my 97 Lx450. This is like the toyotas of the 1970s quality. For a lexus this is not great. I first noticed this spot a few months ago during our winter here in Quebec. Ealrlier today, I started to clean the rust areas and the first thing I know I poke my finger through the sheet metal. I could not believe it, how could this happen. poked a hole like it was foil thicknest Apart from the upper gate rust that seems to be fairly common and that I can handle, pending the fix, this is the only rust on the truck. I will try to get someone to weld a small patch to fix this. I would like to fix this w/o removing the windshield but I doubt it. Is this the right path to fix this? Thanks for providing the opportunity to vent as I am really dissapointed in how tis truck is holding up o the Canadian elements.
