The transmission soft ware update is not a correction but a modification from how the transmission is suppose to work. The sticker lets anyone know that the modification was approved by Lexus and that the modification was done. As I said before the sticker is part of the TSIB and Lexus recommends that sticker be placed under the hood
per their instructions.
I recently bought a SWB and noticed that the glove compartment has a bit of give. Meaning, when it's closed, I can push it and it will move a bit. Is that normal?

is it flush with the rest of the dash? does it rattle? those are the questions to ask
No, it's not flush with the dash. If I push it while it's in closed position, it will move up like a quarter of an inch in.
but if it moves up another 1/4", will the bottom be flush with the lines of the dash? having a little gap and give shouldn't be an "issue". if things are super tight when they are in place, that only means rattle or squeak when they flex. that's why some give is ok. that's why i asked about if they are flush with other parts of the dash in terms of the lines flow
It 'looks' flush. I haven't had a glove compartment in a Lexus vehicle that moves though when you push it. That's why I'm curious. This is my 6th vehicle with them.
If it's flush and closes, doesn't rattle or make noise, I would leave it alone.
I agree, this is my 5th Lexus and the glove box doesn't fit like the others.
You can always compare it with another LS 460 at the dealer...

same here, i have had 3 lexus (much less than you guys, haha) and i have never seen that before. but it could be that the design of the glove box is a bit different? it's a push botton design rather than a latch. i forgot how the one in ls430 is
The LS 430 one is a latch, different design. However, there is a little 'give' if you push on the LS 430 door, but it's still secure. That said, the LS 430 one closes with a 'click' while my experience with the 460 one (dealer preview) was it closes more quietly.

yup, when i was at the dealership closing the glove, it's so smooth and quiet i had no idea it's closed already.
my guess is the new design is giving this illusion of "give"?
