These are definately the wrong type, would you agree, just emailed seller. Box receipt all say IS300 from 2001 onwards but the shape of them look like they should be for the GS300 emmm

you have bought a IS300 hatchback (sportcross)

suppose you shud buy saying "saloon"....

don't flex it as it will void your warranty... just send it back for replacement and you all sorted

I'm pretty sure the door glasses are the same in the (front at least) of a saloon and a SportCross, so there's no reason the wind deflectors would be different.

The curve is definitely not arched enough, and the length way too long. It's hard to tell from a pic, but it may be they just need curving in, which might pull the back edge in far enough to fit. Id' be tempted to leave them out in the sun all day to soften up (they won't melt, they're designed to be outside 24/7) and then gently try bending them in. I doubt very much they'll shatter, as they are an outside plastic, designed to be in hot sun and cold winters. But slow and gentle is the name of the game

been many ppl (forum)have bump into this situation including myself as the hatchback "sportcross" and the "saloon" does have slight shape different. on the Heko label did say IS300 but it also printed "hatchback" and "saloon" that's how their stock divide.

Can't say I remember ever fitting a front door glass to anything other than a saloon IS, but I don't remember seeing two different glasses listed for the 1st gen IS, to differentiate between saloon and estate
