Thumbs up

great- thanks for dumbing it down for me .. the car seems to have some wind noise not a lot but on windy day I can hear it; so thinking about whatever I can do to reduce that.

Think about it logically, if we want to bring that weatherstripping closer the the window we need to bring the door panel closer to the window.

I think it will help you. Just pull off door panel make sure you lower the window first. Take pliers small wrench from the A pillar work your way back to you get close to the top of the window. Dont try past that you may crack your glass. Just a little bend towards the outside.

What's the procedure to remove the inner door panel?

We just finished driving our 2012 500 miles, and the bump down fix made a HUGE difference on all 4 windows - to the point where I do it every time I drive the car. I think every LS460 probably could benefit from this fix.

This issue seems to be solved on the 13-17 if my 2915 is any indication. My door panels are had right against the window and "bumping down" doesn't do anything.
