Default Rain/Water Splash Noise, RX350

Have been pleased with my RX so far. Annoying however is the sound of water splashing at the plastic fender liner. I believe those fender liners should be coated with those rubbery antirust solution to deaden the noise.

All of my liners are bare plastic.

Will somebody please look at their liners if they are coated or bare?

Thanks.

Jednav, you trade one issue for another when you talk smooth or not. Splash sound vs clean/cling-free.

You can spary on those rust proofing on the liners, that will quiet things down a bit.

Undercoat spray takes a while to dry...better not drive on dirty roads while it is drying...it will accumulate gunk....it did on mine when I touched up my fender wheel...but I do not spray on my plastic....
