I have a 1997 LS400 and under the clear plastic surrounding my shifter I have what appears to be "bubbles"... not sure how else to describe them. Not a major deal but kind of unsightly and I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there's a fix for it.

Cheers!

PD I think it is part # 35970‑50040 $87.21 from Sewell

what causes the bubbles? my 96 is like new...

Yeah I called this morning to order and got the same thing... $85 just isn't worth it right now. For $30 heck I'd do it.

For the $35, I;d do it too since it will only get worse. In thinking, I paid $28 for the plastic seat belt guide for the back seat. A piece of plastic that big would be 3X minimal the cost, $85 is rightly close. Not to mention $18 for the door light lens.

Thanks for all the info guys… amazing forum. Not sure if I'll pull the trigger or not but I did notice that if you have an account on the Sewell site & entered the clublexus code when you created it the price on that part drops from $87.21 to $62.93.

I need to replace the plastic bezel around my shifter on my 90 LS. I have searched high and low on Sewell and don't see anything that refers to this piece. Anyone know if they are still available anywhere? It's the clear plastic piece that has the "PRNDL2" letters underneath. Mine is pretty crazed from age...
