At the dealer for about 85-120 bucks for both sides. You may need to replace the plastics clips that hold it in place. Whoever replaced the windshield was supposed to replace those. From what I've read they are a one time use.

You can just use the Dorman 700-644 clips (Lexus part # 75545-53011) whenever you replace them. Pack of 10 costs about $10 vs paying $3 a piece for the OEM clip, each side takes 5 clips. The Dorman clips are the exact same thing as what the dealer will give you. When I did mine a few weeks back, I paid $80 total for both sides and the clips from ordering off of eBay and Amazon.

As for the windshield molding, if you only plan on replacing that one side, that part # is 75552-53020. If you want to do the passenger side as well, that # is 75551-53020.

How did those clips work out for you. I did this on my IS250 a couple years back and those clips were horrible, very soft plastic and left gaps everywhere, so this time on my IS350 I just opted for OEM. I suggest OP uses OEM as well but that's just my 2 cents.

I had mine replaced last year. The plastic molding is around $85CDN which is $60 USD. The clips is what kills you if you buy them at the stealerships. Clips for one side was around $50CDN which is around $40USD.

Sad thing is I need to do the other side now...

Holding up fine. I only received 9 of 10, so I had to go to the dealer to grab one. Luckily, they just gave me one for free. Looked to be the same exact thing to me. Same markings in the same places, same hardness, same amount of force required to push them in. No gaps.

Installed new OEM surrounding pieces and OEM clips to get rid of the unsightly worn factory ones. Fitment was PERFECT, and those clips are in there to stay!
