Driver door handle leather wrinkled
1 Attachment(s)
I have noticed this on my driver side and had this similar problem in my last GS aswell looks like it's a problem with these cars. Any idea is this is covered under warranty.

I have the same thing on mine.
I haven't messed with it because I am certain a replacement one would be in the same condition in a short period of time, so the hassle of having my door taken apart and the piece replaced doesn't seem worth it to me. You could try for a warranty repair, but I would assume they'll just label it was wear/tear and decline. |
I've always wondered, is that actually leather?
Same question for the dash - though I'm more certain that is not real leather. |
The dash and door panels are not leather.

Not sure about the material. |

Do you rest your arm there much while driving? Is the passenger side also wrinkling?
Another possibility could just be due to heat. |
My understanding is the door trim and dash are Lexus' "pleather."
That particular location I could see being driven by use of the elbow rest. In another CPO car I looked at, I had seen the entire panel having significant waviness/ripples. Not sure what would cause the whole thing to be so bad. I would check with the dealer on warranty, as it certainly seems to me a defect in material or workmanship. |
It is wrinkling due to pushing the door open at that point. The previous owner of my car did that, and if I open it the same way, I can see it wrinkling. I use different areas to push the door open now and the wrinkling is slowly fading away but will most likely never completely disappear.

I have the same issue on my driver side door just like you OP. I don't rest my elbow on there or anything, it's just used to push open/ close the door.

nothing a hair dryer or heat gun on low can't fix..
