Can you let us know where you sent your email to? I have a late 2010 and my car absolutely has the issue (which is surprising given I almost own a 2011 production car). I covered the door panels in vinyl but I have to apply dressing to my glove box every few weeks or it looks really bad. I'd like to see about getting the glove box replaced if Lexus would cover it. Thanks,

No appointments needed he said

Wow what a joke ...complete waste of time at Lexus of Cherry Hill ..the sa telling me that the issues I have on my door panels are from oils and some dirt and that there's no stickiness whatsoever...I told her ofcourse there isn't rite at the moment it's cold and not humid .. she told me to bring the car back in the summer ! What a joke .. I'll bring it back in the summer but not to this Lexus dealer ..

No, you appear to have the same issue as everyone else. I reside in south Georgia and my car is only driveable about 3 or 4 months each year unless you can tolerate sticky door panels, glove box door, dash and console. I have managed to avoid any damage/wear to these parts by limiting my driving during the hottest and most humid periods of the year. My car is an 08 and extremely sound mechanically with less than 51000 miles but I am reluctant to attempt to sell it because I would fully disclose the stickiness issue which would discourage any potential buyer.

Just got my email response - my late 2010 is "potentially eligible" for the ZLZ Warranty Enhancement (different verbiage than some of the other posters here with 07-09). We'll see what comes of it...
