Wind Noise 460 (Not 460L) in Windows
#31
FYI, I"m not sure the ISX50's are wind noise exempt. I've got problems on the passenger side. Just hate to have them start tearing stuff apart and make matters worse.
I may just suck it up for a while.

wind noise from mirror and window trim
I found out they tried to seal off the mirror as well as to tighten the window trim to get a tighter seal against the window . It's better than it was, but I continue to have wind noise. This was the field fix. Lexus is aware of the problem and are woiking on a service bulletin. I don't have the brake noise someone else posted about. You would have thought Lexus would have known about this problem before going into production. This is their flag ship vehicle.
This is my 5th Lexus vehicle. I think it's the best one I've owned, but I'm not happy with this wind noise. My LS 430 did not have wind noise...

I have no noise to report on mine. As stated before, it appears that the LWB does not have this issue. Since mine is a LWB, I can confirm that I do not have it. I hope this is fixed soon for you guys.

Ls 460 wind noise
It's fixable . Go order the new 21013 LS side mirror wind deflectors and just stick them on in under 10 mins . No sealant required and the noise disappears . I swear the car steers a lot better particularly at speed .
My LS 460 is tomb like silent now ! Fantastic

I have the same problem and brought the car back to the dealer.
It's a little bit better, but the noise is still there.
I'm not happy and very upset by the dealer's work and answers:
They adjusted the window strip.
and told me : due to the "aerodynamic design" of the vehicule, air flow is close to the surface of the body and creates a "normal" "buffeting" noise!
Come on Lexus! You don't test your cars before putting them on the market!
The brake squeal is "normal" too if listening to their bull... It's due to the semi-metallic content of "modern" brake pad material, frequency and duration of the noise will vary according to outside temperature, humidity, and personal driving habits...as well as Lexus hability to NOT test their cars long enough before they reach dealerships showrooms!
Come on Lexus! This is a $70K car and it's your Flagship.
It should be perfect and I cannot accept blablabla regarding the 1st year model.
So, I called Lexus Customer Service and complained.
I will get these 2 issues resolved. If not fixed quickly, I'm decided to apply for the lemon law.
This is really unacceptable for a LS 460.

Someone suggested that you buy a 2013 mirror. I can tell you my 2013 has no wind noise.
As for the brake squeal I am going to try and research this issue this weekend and I will make a post. My brakes squeal and I hate it. My service adviser told me it is normal. I agree that this is the wrong answer but as that is the only problem I have I am going to fix it myself because I would rater fix it than fight with Lexus.
You could do the lemon law thing but changing the mirror and (I hope) the brake pads will be less time consuming for you and in the end you will have a great car.
good luck and watch for my brake research.

My 09 had wind noise. they tried to fix it and they did to some extent. I decided that I could live with the noise because overall the car was a net plus.

There is more information about the wind noise problem here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...noise-fix.html
There are many ways of dealing with the trim defect that range from replacing the trim, to sealing with silicone sealant to applying several pieces of Duct Tape.

I've been trying to tell if my car (08 LS SWB) needs the infamous wind noise fix. I see so many people on the forums with this problem that it makes me paranoid that I might have it. Let's say you do have the wind noise issue.. How obvious is it? Would I blatantly know? I try driving fast on a smooth road with all the windows closed and no music on to test to see there's any wind noise, but for the most part its kinda quiet.. except I hear a little wind outside especially on windy days, but not enough that it sounds like something is open..How quiet should it be?..should I do the fix just for good measure?
