I was detailing my car yesterday and first noticed there's some dust on the panel of the camera behind the windshield then I took the photo below and it looks like those particles are not dust but pattern of the plastic. However, I noticed the camera lens is not looking straight and points at lower right. Can anyone else check their camera and let me know if theirs is the same? I doubt the camera has motor to move around.

 

I'd just leave it alone. that's highly engineered and calibrated and nothing for you to worry about. as i tell people, that falls in the "none of your business" category LOL.

The pattern of the casing you see is to prevent reflections and if there was any issue with your camera placement, believe me, the car would not hesitate to tell you.

just enjoy the car. if you want to nitpick, believe me after having TWO 2021 ESes, you're looking in completely the wrong spot... lol.

 

I can’t disagree with E46CT, however here is a closeup of my 2019 from a little straighter angle. It does look different - but the main body of both lenses seem to be centered facing forward. I wonder if it is just a reflection or the way the light hits the lens?. You might want to ask the dealer about it at your next visit, but if it appears to be working, I wouldn’t worry about it.

 

Uh oh - here comes another seven page thread

 

Went to go check my camera. looks fine to me. but then again the camera is so far away the the nose of the car is so long i can't get a good view unless i climb through the sunroof and turn myself into a pretzel. seriously why is OP looking that close at his camera lol

maybe i should go inspect the inside of my valve stems to make sure they're pointing straight.

 

A level of OCD not seen before!

 

Did you also check the radar behind the Lexus logo. That might also be few degrees off.. 😀😀😀

 

LOL. There is an old saying if you go looking for a problem long enough you will find it!

 

There is no doubt about that!
