Default LS460L Glove Box Door

On the inside of the glove box door are two clips that appear to be a pen holder...albeit the worlds thinnest pen. One of mine was broken at delivery, but no one, at the dealer, knows for sure what it is. Anyone out there know for sure?

Was it supposed to be part of the car at delivery or is it something Lexus offers as an accessory?

There is no mention of it in the owner manual, but they sure look and work as clips for a pen; the location for the penlight and batteries is in the trunk. One of my clips was also broken. I'm the second owner, so am unsure of the cause but assumed they forced in a pen too large. I was pleased that the TSIB for the glove box resulted in replacement of the glove box door which included new clips, and is now sporting a slim Cross pen.

KYLS, What does the TSIB on the glovebox door cover? I wonder, because mine (a CPO car) seems that it sits with a .75 cm gap that it hangs low.

From reading the other thread, I don't really see anyone reporting having it done and it fixing anything? I'll check into it.

My glove box door was quite loose before the fix and now closes tight as would be expected. It was obvious that the entire door had been replaced mainly because the "pen" clips weren't broken when I got it back.

Oh I see. Glad I didn't miss out on much. Still should have had a pen and gloves put in there since it is supposed to be there. Not worth hassling service over though...
