Anyone know a shop who knows how to install a windshield correctly for our 100? I have an annoying air leak at the top right corner. It sounds like a window is down when I'm driving on the freeway.

Thanks for the lead. I'll give him a call on Monday.
Just logged in to research this as well, I need to get mine fixed this week.
To follow up, I went to National Auto Glass on La Cienega, and they did a great job. No more wind noise for me. They do all the Lexus dealers glass in the area.

Update: So I was able to get my insurance to install a brand new OEM windshield through Longo Toyota. Total bill was 1.7k! WOW! Only need to pay 100 deductible.
wow that's awesome how'd you manage that great outcome? does yours have HUD?
What insurance you have?

No HUD.
I have Farmers. When I called Farmers directly they refuse at first and told me they would only cover up to $350. But when I spoke with Eddie Galvan @ Longo Toyota, he told me to open a claim first with Farmers. Once it was open, I told Farmers to contact Longo Toyota and my advisor there wrote up the repair order, and next day Farmers approved it. Now I can confirm Longo Toyota is their "prefer body shop". It means they somehow directly connected with the Farmer's internal claim system.
I also got my ISF windshield replaced there too. Surprising it was cheaper than the LC, 1.3k. '
Going to get it replace next week. Hopefully, it'll fix the annoying wind noise.
I just went to Alfredo's for a 100 series windshield install. I could not be happier.
Just about everything was wrong with my windshield; side trim with screws, which were loose, big gaps in the top trim due to windshield sagging down, rust in scratches under the adhesive. Rust was not bad and Alfredo could grind it out and prime it.
I had lots of wind noise due to the poor trim installation.
Alfredo kept me informed of everything during the job, showing me the details.
No wind noise after the job, trim installed with rivets, no gaps, looks great. And rust all gone.
He also installed new clips for the lower cowling.
I highly recommend Alfredo's Auto Glass near Corona, CA.
Could someone please recommend a competent shop in Northern Cali? Thanks!
Anybody searching this thread - number is out of service. This name doesn't come up in a map search or Google search in VanNuys.
Agreed on Alfredo. Used him twice, perfect both times.

I would go Alfredo. I'm in Nor Cal and I almost drove down to use them. There is a great video from them on Youtube. I called them and they were just as professional and told me to set aside at least 4 hours for the job if I wanted to wait for the car to be done.
