just wanted to make sure i'm reading you correctly... the replacement you got was an authentic Lexus sourced one (Lexus logo in the bottom left corner) & it still wasnt good quality, or did you mean you got an aftermarket sourced one from safelite & it wasnt as good?

I got it from safelite, but it has the Lexus logo on it as well.. Its supposed to be OEM equivalent but it really isn't
