Logos on side glass different
On pass and driver's side....hope that's from the factory (and not due to accident or theft)! All say Lexus, just not same insignia or identification....

The UL and CL have laminated (two pane) glass and I believe the labeling indicates laminate. All others use a one pane glass that is labeled temperlite. As someone who has replaced my beloved '02 UL with a pristine '03 ML/Nav, I don't notice any difference. Others on this forum, however, have strong feelings either way.

edit: All glass is Asahi (incl windshield and back glass), except the 3 pieces on the pass side....could they have used 2 brands off the assy line, or is there some monkey business going on....

Very interesting, thanks for checking....then maybe the factory did that. Because it does seem odd to replace glass other than the windshield, or maybe the rear small window for a break in.....and again all do say LEXUS.....maybe a replacement might not....

Some current non-OEM glass has the Lexus logo. 2004 LS430's had glass made by ASAHI, indicated by DOT 20 (a Department of Transportation) issued to manufactures so the glass can be tracked to origin.
