Many posts about his - will most likely fail and the side glass will pop out. Take immediately to the dealer to exercise any warranty you may have. To fix, it costs $800 for the complete assembly and labor.

This is a design problem in the 07 08 side windows...The plastic holding tabs are built into the glass...The plastic will crack and/or break and the window will come off track..The window then sticks off about 4 inches at the top..I had this problem on the drivers side..It was out of warranty and Lexus would not fix it FOC...They quoted me $660...I had a glass shop replace the window at a cost of $220...The replacement glass does not have Lexus etched in the glass (which I can do without)...When a new glass is installed, the pinch protector should be reset as the computer does not retain this feature...I addressed the procedure for resting the pinch protector in another post...Hopefully, your Lexus dealer will replace your passenger side window FOC...Hope this helps....It is a shame to have a LUXURY car that the owner has to be concerned about the windows popping off track...I read in another post that the drivers side window came off track and shattered when he was on the interstate doing 60mph...I believe that a class action suit might be the only way for Lexus to accept responsiblity.........
