So, corporate just got back to me and they offered to just pay for 25% to replace through dealer. Looks like I will be doing it myself. What website can I order parts from?

I replaced my windshield molding last night. It's definitely an easy DIY (so do NOT pay your dealership $100 in labor for the 10 minutes it takes to do this). It took me about 30 minutes but only because I spent a lot of time cleaning the area behind the trim (there were leaf particles and lots of gunk).
To remove the trim just use your fingers and pull up slowly but firmly from the top going down. The clips will break free one by one. At the bottom there are two clips that also break free. To install the trim just pop the bottom part in first and then work your way up, making sure the clips seat correctly. I would also put some trim protectant on everything to hopefully prevent this from happening again.
If anyone in NorCal needs help PM me.

Mine was covered under warranty and I have a 08 w/51,000 miles but I got the CPO warranty. Don't know if it's different than yours

Good thing Stevens Creek Lexus covered it. That's $70 bucks I saved and it went to gas. Anyone that lives in California knows how expensive gas is around here
