Default Side moldings & door edge install instructions.

I bought the "Body Side Moldings" (PT29A-33190-31) & "Door Edge Guards" (PT936-33190-21) online for my 2023 ES 300h, but the parts came without instructions. On the Lexus box says "The installation instructions for this accessory are on the electronic Toyota Information System (TSI). Please see your dealer for a copy".

I contacted my local dealer but they told me that instructions are only provided for parts bought directly from them. The online seller was not very helpful either. They told me that if the PDF is not on their website there's not much they can do; and recommended online search.

I found a thread with the instructions for 2019 ES 350 model year, Are this the same for a 2023 ES 300h regarding measurements?

Unfortunately I could not find instructions for the "Door Edge" for 2019+ which supposedly have a cut-out measuring/placement guide.There are some PDF's for 2016 model year. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

This is super easy and you only need painters tape and tape measure. This vdo is for older model but should give you a very good idea. There should also be a vdo of a garage mechanic installing current generation body side molding. Recall the color of the car was white so search the tube.

Thanks @Shaboom & @FIQBAL !

For the Body Side Moldings, I did saw a YT video and found a ES/ESh 2019 install PDF online. I installed the moldings & edge on my DW 2019 Rav4 Adventure, but at that time the local dealer provided the printed instructions.

I just want to make sure of the measurements, specially for the "Door Edge Guard", as I remember having to cutout a print measurement template.

I ordered and self-installed the body side moldings for my 2023 ES-350UL per the 2019 install .pdf above. It was a relatively simple install; just make sure to measure carefully.

I found this uTube helpful as far as the process but followed the actual measurements in the instruction sheet:

Thanks! Did the same as you, the 2 videos linked above + measurements from the instructions sheet. I know it's relatively easy install as I did my DW Rav4 in 2019. But I wanted to be extremely careful because once the tape liner is off and the molding is on, is ON.

The door edge has templates only for the front doors. The rear doors are aligned with the guard curvature.
