You probably need to open the moonroof up and adjust the washer in there. It's pretty simple.

1st Gen GS 93-97 don't have VVT-I. Starting 98 to present all have VVT-I.

Default folding mirrors - not sure if anyone has ever offical posted wiring

For those in the US, CA, Aussies and JDM Aristo/GS300/JZS147 owners....

If you have the folding side mirrors can you take a picture of the kick panel wire distribution board/block and email it to me. pnpgs300@yahoo.com.

I have all the parts for the JDM folding mirror and want to use the OE (regardless of whether is USDM or JDM, they are the same just different driver seat side i.e. LHD vs. RHD) distribution block and all I need to see is where the mirror wires tap into.

If someone gets me this, I will create a DIY on the folding mirrors.

As for the controls, the JDM and USDM are different. For the USDM market, with a little creativity, you can modify or fabricate new piece to replace the original. I'm about to do this and again, if I can get a picture of that distribution block I'll post it.

Calling on our Aussie friends, can you get a copy of the JDM wiring diagram? Canadian's may be able to get it from your local Lexus dealers.


Thx
PnP

I finally found a thread on the do-it-yourself cup holder repair:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-1st-gen-1993-1997/95773-broken-cup-holder.html

(Darn thing broke again, previous owner already replaced it once before!)
