Default Questions from a new ISF owner

I did some research and couldn't find specific answers, so I have some questions about my 2 week old (to me) ISF.
- Is there a lexus specific coolant/antifreeze that anyone recommends? I read I can add distilled water to top off the coolant, but wanted to know if there was a particular brand or type that everyone used.
- Some of the trim is peeling around the bottom of the window. What's a good way to fix this? I was thinking of just using a tiny amount of glue.

toyota 50/50 pre-mixed is what you should be using ... good ol pink stuff

and if your talking about the rubber that meets the shiny plastic trim ehh i tried glue and it made it worse .. but my glue skills could suck.

i replaced the whole part myself, but its up to you

50/50 pre-mixed toyota coolant
it's actually a black vinyl sticker peeling off..glue didn't really work for me. I'd suggest replacing it (requires for you to take the interior door panel off--the trim pops right out from the inside then.

Repeating myself to what above posters said regarding the coolant, so you can hear it from multiple sources so there is no doubt. Go to Toyota and get the pink stuff lol
