Thanks for sharing any information/experience.

Take it in and get it fixed RIGHT NOW, as I've heard of window regulators in some cars jamming/breaking will cause the glass to fall down into the door where you can't get it back up, or it will shatter the glass in the door when the window is down.

Haven't bought it yet, but even if I'm the third owner, and the car hasn't been serviced at a Lexus dealer, the warranty would cover this?

Yeah, not sure why the dealer -- Hiester Chevy -- didn't address it before listing the vehicle. Guess they hoped nobody would notice until delivery. I found out about it through a third-party inspection I'd arranged.

Original Lexus warranty transfers. The only Lexus warranty that doesn't transfer is any CPO warranty. I think even Lexus ESPs transfer but may have a fee. Third party warranties may transfer, of course depending on the terms.
