That is great news Noop. Your GS is alpine silver correct?

 

Not as easy as peel and stick....

The inside panel of the door needs to be taken apart....then well..the plastic insulation barrier to get access to the lower half of door panel screws has to be cut open..once those are taken away.....you have to pop the clips and some of those naturally break inside of the door chamber of course. i would order some of those....then you can get access to those little screws...wait maybe they were rivets.....its been so long i forgot.....

Wait a minute......the third gen doesnt have this problem....

 

just did mine today. this diy takes about 10-15 minutes. open the door and at the bottom on the inside of the panel there should be 2 black 10mm nuts. remove those and pop out the bottom part of the door panel. now there is 5 phillips screws. removes those screws and you can pull the plastic piece out. slide the new one in and youre done. you can remove the whole lower door panel but you risk breaking the clips and there is double sided tape. hope this helps you guys

 

Another Alpined Silvefr for Carsons..Will order Monday!!

 

Thanks for the install directions

 

which side of the door is the 5 phillips screws on? i got the 2 10mm nuts off and then i tried to pull the outer lower plastic panel off from the bottom edge but it wouldn't budge

 

Great instructions

 

I had the dealer take care of both side last year. They comped it all.

 

ne1 have luck with these part numbers? i tried using them on the park place lexus order website and the numbers are invalid

 

JUST CALL DARRELL ON THE PHONE FROM SEWELL. he will be more than happy to assist. great guy. just call on the phone instead of bothering with internet part numbers that youll never end up matching. give him the numbers over the phone and hell find the right ones for your car. look up his phone number on lexus-parts.com

 

not having much luck with darrel right now... i have a bunch of stuff sitting at home that was sent incorrectly by him that i've been trying to resolve for awhile now.

damn... so many issues with our gs right now

 

trying to resolve? i dont mean to pry but if the wrong parts were sent, and the invoice shows what you were supposed to get or you have the order form of parts that you ordered correctly, i see no reason why you couldnt get the stuff returned or replaced. sewell isnt some shady back street parts dealer, they're LEXUS, and darrell is a mad helpful guy just busy as hell from what i gather.

 

The screws are not on the door from what i recall....the screws hold the plastic trim to the plastic outer lower half of the door. Does that make sense?

I believe it wont budge because there are screws on the inside of the door as well....plus clips....

Good luck!

 

i never said i had problems with darrel, who is trying to help, but a massive shipping company snafu keeps screwing things up beyond belief. one shipment was lost, and another sent in error, and i'm still trying to sort things out. it's been ongoing for 2 months now i don't want to complicate things further with another order.

 

i think i figured it out... was out in the parking lot with a coworker and it appears someone added an extra layer of double sided tape to the panel. the car had been repainted prior to us buying it so i suspect a bodyshop did this.
