Acoustic (double-pane) front window glass ?
Hi folks
Got myself a CPO 2013 GSh with tech package and all individual options I'm aware about a few months ago- love the car, just wondering if anyone could confirm that they had the double pane glass front windows factory installed, as my ride doesn't have them and like I said I have all the extras on it (definitely the cold weather package referenced in some threads that bring up double pane glass). A bit confused at this point...
Cheers

That's part of the cold weather package. More info about options is available in this sticky thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-pictures.html

First year of the generation 2013 were missing a couple of items that appeared
in the sophomore year 2014's. Blind Spot Monitor was new for '13 but did not
have Rear Cross Traffic until '14 for example. Power folding and Automatic
folding when locked was also new in 2014.
I did not know about the laminate glass change, thanks for pointing it out!

I find strange though (and other threads have the same dilemma) the inconsistencies of equipment among same generation models...some have this but not that etc

Tejanp : I have the luxury package with heated rear seats and manual rear sunshades, ML audio, dynamic cruise, LED headlamps, cold package (headlamp washers, wiper heater), etc. And yet my car doesn't have the double pane front windows. Maybe Lexus started putting these double pane front windows in the cold package (or whatever package, as now I'm confused) based on production date, my car is on the road since Nov-2012 - this is the only thing that might make sense. What year/month was your GS on the road ?

Car makers make changes all the time with their models - sometimes eliminating standard equipment or options or adding standard equipment or options...and sometimes modifying or altering materials or the way the vehicle is built. This could happen at anytime during the production period.

No issues with wind noise on yours? Mine was pretty bad above 80-90km/h and now very quiet with dual-pane glass
