I too am awaiting repair of damage done to my front bumper Possibly done at hospital car park mine is Black Opal Mica i have taken it to a body shop that is highjly reccomended and got a quote of 400 as he said he will have to take off the bumper i sais " can you can you match it perfectly " and he replied yes, I hope so as i have heard they are difficult to match but i will have to get it done as every time i see it it makes me angry that people do these acts of damage and dont even care Robert

Lee those clips down side are one use only in so much as when they fitted you cant get them off again without breaking them the top ones are stuck on so you could possibly reuse them if you restuck them I was just saying if you try to take them off from bottom up they will break but top to bottom you can see the little tongue thingy that goes into the clip and release it without breaking the clip. And as Les said it was worth it for the tech to do it for 20 which was a result but it was from the toyota garage im sure Lexus would have doubled that Robert

Lee Down the rear window there are 5 special clips that are one use only 6 on the top over the doors then 4 +1 down the front screen the first one being handed the rest fit on both sides the top ones are stuck on with the tape built on to them but the rear window and screen ones fit onto a special clip on a pop rivet so that part will be alright these clips shove on to this collar and lock on and being plastic they break on removal mine was same as yours not as bad but was down front screeen i took it to my local toyota dealer and after ordering clips they were 2 quid each fittd them while i watched in less than 10 minutes i thought i could have done that this is how it should be according to the lad work from over doors and work back releasing the clips as these come of easy he did it with his fingers when you get to the clips down the window you need the tool to release the moulding out of the clip working down be careful with the moulding its stainless steel with vynil wrap on it it is not painted however if you can see the clip that is broken just change it but bear in mind its one use get them from the dealers and you will see straight away how they fit refitting you work back from the bottom one to the top to test this i took of my pass side one useing his method and never broke one and it went back perfect they charged me 20 quid to fit them 10 min job i do not jest hope that helps you Lee Robert

Update on the wind noise I bit the bullet and took it to the dealer' as it was getting worse maybe from me pushing and shoving on the scuttle this is what they found The forward scuttle clips (that are hidden) all broken the clips that fit under the screen to lock the seal either broken or not installed correct making the gap between seal and glass ineffective and causing squeek. the bottom clip of the body window moulding broke as it is a once only fit ( said it may have been siliconed in position) but is loose that needs replacing both sides The wing /bonnet seal not clipped in correctly both sides The wiper malfunction is either No Tape on screen or gel pad not fitted correctly I am taking it in on monday to have it sorted but scuttle is £220 (gulp) plus other bits but said they were minimal plus the labour Whoever put the screeen in surely didnt know how to fit the Screen it is called Shatterprufe a South African firm but by all accounts are suppose to be good quality But....... was fitted by Auto wind*********** Awww well Lexus motoring Robert
