It is now my turn to replace the weather stripping, part 67864-24020 for the left or drivers side ordered. $53 from my local Lexus guy!
Everytime I wash the car a little water drips into the car...and I have some wind noise at the location of the ripped weatherstrip.
The Results may be this weekend...

I finally changed the drivers side window gasket. Mine had a slight split in the rubber around the window and this was causing a little noise and a small drip when I took it to the touch less car wash.
Here are a few pictures...
These harbor freight tools are great!!!
At this point the tweeter, mirror and door ECU have been removed. The window track nuts were also removed and this allowed the rubber seal to be removed easily.
Reassembled and ready to go!

The tear usually doesn't cause a leak, just a whistle.

After replacing three times (once via the dealer), I decided to go with the liquid electrical tape method. Although not as cosmetically pleasing as a straight up replacement, it works for me. Besides, the repair can only be seen if the door is left open.
$7.00 at Lowes...and I had at a least a 1"+ split

Thanks Harold, I have always wondered if this is a design flaw or the Windows need to be adjusted over time. It's like the window up stop wears out and allows the window to go up more than it should.
UPDATE, i just saw your post 72 Harold, Great Information!!!
I need to do this before I wear out the replacements!

I've heard a number of folks who change out the triangle weatherstripping only to have to do it again 6 months later. Part of that could be that the window needs to be adjusted downward slightly but I suspect that part of it is also due to wear (abrasion and tearing). But I don't have enough data to really determine how true that is.
