I was wondering what is the little cushion at the top of the rearview mirror in 2001 lexus ls 430??? it flips down but i have no idea what it is or what its for

 

It's a sun visor for when the sun is shining thru that little area. The big visors don't get that area.
I use it a lot .....

I think this is called "attention to detail" or something like that. :P

 

Exactly! Other models like my wife's RX 350 have the larger "dotted" area on the windshield.

 

It's one of the coolest tiny features that I show my friends as a reason why lexus cars are the best haha

 

Ooook thanks alot I discovered it on accident

 

Wait til you find the little drawers under the front seats

 

Truer words could not be said...
If you flip down the driver-side and passenger-side shades too, then the sun is entirely blocked off from the front of the car allowing you to look at your rear-view mirror without getting any additional glare from the sun. You can actually drive *into* the sun and still use your rear-view mirror, in other words.

It's just one another one of those small touches that makes this car so special.

 

something new everyday .. still amazing how they do it

 

What year did they start that????? I am going to look at my car after work tonight.... I just got it a week ago.

 

I found the drawers under the front seats. SWEET!
