LS460 Wind Noise Fix (merged threads)
#47
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. As this casts some doubt on the efficacy of the "wind noise fix," I am merging this with the existing thread on the matter to centralize discussion.
June 17, sounds a bit like they were trying their own repair effort to satisfy a customer, without support from Lexus hq.
I agree, this situation is very annoying and unacceptable for the LS owners that have this problem; hopefully the actual fix will work.

Okay, but it there might be a slight delay. I live 110 miles each way from the dealer. I don't have a blackberry. They told me I should have my car back the same day. I will be there early. They will give me a loaner, but I would rather have my car back the same day. I don't want to drive back there twice.

At what speed exactly do you hear the noise ? or is it random form 1 car to another .. i bought my car 5 dayz ago but i did not exceed 80km/Hr till now and i cant hear anything i will try again in a few hours BTW i live in the Middle east -(United Arab Emirates) do you think cars being delivered to the middle east differ a bit than the ones being delivered to canada and ther US .

The noise comes from the upper part of the doors, not the mirrors. It happens when the window is fully closed. Over 40mph (64Km/h) the noise starts, it's like a distant whistle and it becomes louder as the speed increases.
I've got a call from the dealer, my car is confirmed for the fix on the 12th.

You guys and all those who have pursued this issue unrelented should be commended, and hopefully this fix will fully address the problem, convincing all including sceptics and those sitting on the fence, like me. We will all benefit in some way from your persistence keeping this front and center.

Wow, that sounds like a major expensive 'fix' for Lexus. Hopefully it really does fix the problem on what otherwise is an excellent car.

Wind noise and MPG
Bought new LS460L in Albu, NM. With 100 miles on od, drove it home to NW WY. 1000 miles. NO lie: 30.9 mpg from Raton NM to Cheyenne WY on I-25 driving 75-80 mph with stop and go thru denver! Unreal. And yes there is significant wind noise, even more so on the driver's side. How did their engineers let this get by??? Other than that it is a spectacular car. I'm 6'6" and have never been this comfy in a car. And it's quick! Any idea what the fix to the noise is??
