How's your door alignment?
 
Hey guys,

I've got 2 brand new GS and both have the same problem:

The front left door is about 1,5mm higher than the rear door.
Of course the clearance is all fcked up.

When I got the 1st one 2 months ago... I thought OK, might happen.
But now this looks like a "standard" now to me.

How is yours?

Rod

I'll have to check mine. I have a 2017 GS loaner for a few days so I'll take a pic of this one.

Here are close-ups of my driver's side door alignment where it meets the rear door. All aligned...

Mine is the same way. It's not the doors. Those are just trim pieces. No big deal.

Same here...
 
Moreover, my wife's Infinity G35x has the same issue :). Agreed, not a big deal.

Your poor fitment surprises me...coming from Lexus.

Just checked mine almost ideantical to the pictures BCLexus posted. All good here

Mine look just like what BCLexus posted. No issues here but then again we both have a 2013.

Have a 14" and it's well aligned as it's suppose to be. You need to check with your dealer what's happening with your car. Btw just for your info someone has bought a brand new repainted GSF from the Lexus dealer which he found out after showing it to a detail guy. So get your car checked if something happened.

This happens way more than people realize. Cars get banged up in transport all the time and the info never gets disclosed. I believe they are not required to.
Many years ago one of my friends father bought a brand new Camaro and had it for many years without issues. After 10 years the paint started fading and showed body filler and stuff all over the rear quarter panel even though he was never in an accident. He took it to a body shop to see what that was all about and they said the car looked like it had quite a bit of rear end damage which was repaired (hence the body filler and fading paint on the entire rear and roof of the car). The car was old and he was about to get rid of it anyway so he just let it go and did not bring it up to the dealer he bought the car from. He never gave any business to that dealer ever again.

10 year old Camaro I know it won't be that upsetting compared to a 80k GSF. The OP needs to check with the dealer what's wrong with his cars.

Same here- mine seems perfectly lined up. I wanted a nebula gray, saw the misalignment in that only one color available, and got the pearl white instead.
