Picked up new 2022 lc 500 vert. Noticed a little bigger gap between windshield and roof on passenger side. Drivers side barely can stick pinky finger in. Passenger side finger fits easily. Wondering if it can be adjusted. I will call dealor tomorrow and keep updated.

 

congrats on vert! do you have your coupe too, or did you trade it in?
best of luck with the roof, can't help you rhere.

 

Yes I posted info on my trade-in. I love the convertible just hope this is easy fix.

 

Bit….How is it that you don’t remember that…. .......after all the static you gave me about the trade-in value on this LC…..Maybe ‘ole timers’!

 

i remember now. hope so too.



have a lot going on and read a lot, so yeah, don't remember every thread or who traded what in for what.

hilarious. do you do stand up comedy shows?
more importantly, do you know anyone in your life who actually has alzheimer's? i do.

 

Glad that I was able to help you remember.....We all may need a lil help sometimes!

 

Just got back from dealer, shop foreman took pictures said he needed to make some phone calls. The gap on passenger side roof is clearly not as tight as drivers side so there is no issue showing the problem. Next appointment is Wednesday morning. As I was leaving shop foreman said it's probably just an adjustment. Not sure how this passed quality control in Japan. Any of you other convertible owners ever have a problem with the roof being tighter on one side than the other or am I the only lucky one?

 

Pictures for the forum...

 

that's really disappointing given how proud lexus is of their japanese factory quality.

 

passenger side gap outside

passenger side pinky fits futher in

drivers side tight

do you have any wind noise from either side? squeaks, creaks?

i can't really grasp those 'inside' pictures (orientation, what part, etc)... the outside pictures look the same on drivers/passenger sides?

 

This is normal according to Lexus and the dealership. A few vert owners asked my dealership shop buddy about this and he says Japan came back saying it’s engineering to allow some flexing and to alleviate stresses during twisting/flexing.

 

That's interesting. There is no wind or water leakage but the passenger side has a larger gap than the drivers side. It's hard to believe that is normal. I'll be bringing the car back to dealer Wed. morning and find out what they say . Otherwise vert. is awesome. Will post when I have more info.They also have another convertible coming in couple weeks and I can compare.

 

it looks like the car is 'properly closed' though from the outside, so maybe the inside gap difference doesn't matter (except for the ocd among us ).

 

I never noticed an issue like that. My top has been good. It does look like your top is properly closed from the outside. Interesting to see if there is something that they can do to fix it.

good luck.
