Weather Seals?
I'm just curious, is there a difference between the weather seals from Lexus/Toyota and say Autozone? I'm getting alot of wind noise from the sunroof and doors when I'm on the highway and I want to replace all the seals, but I'm not sure if I should get them from the dealer or somewhere else?
Well right now I'm in the hunt to what the cost is of the parts, but the local dealer keeps telling me that they dont carry such a part. I will keep you posted if I find anything out.
Anyone out there know what the part number is for the doors and moonroof seals?

I have a fix for the moon roof. I have a very thin rubber seal in my garage here at home. I do not know the name of it, or where I purchased it. I put it around 3/4 of my inner lip of my moon roof and no more wind noise. Make sure the moon roof glass is completely reseeded into the body of the car. You will not be able to apply the seal if you only tilt the roof. Use some type of alcohol-based product to clean the lip before attempting to apply seal. Remember I did not wrap it completely around the squared roof. Once you look down on your roof, you will see a lip that goes 3/4th around the moon roof. It goes completely down the windshield side and continues 3/4 down the driver side and 3/4 down the passenger side. Do not cut, it should be one continuous run. Remember I did not use the seal on the side closest to the rear window. Wrap this seal around the roof; make sure it will not be visible from the top view, once the roof has been closed. At the end and beginning of the run simply, fold the ends behind the lip (cut if there is too much over hang). Apply pressure along the complete seal when finished prior to testing with the moon roof. The end that goes on your metal will not appear sticky but trust me it works, also do not allow the end that goes on the metal to fold against itself, do you will have a problem unsticking it. Now this easy procedure should take a total of from one to five minutes. I have not tried this on any other part of the car but I will in the future. PM me with an address and I will send you a run long enough for your moon roof, if it works send me the postage I will have used to send you the product. Also PM me if you would like me to post a picture of my roof. Remember this seal is applied to the metal and not the seal or rubber around your glass
Hopefully you can make out the picture. since you replied so quickly I decided to pull my car out of the rain and try and send some pictures. The green line is the center of the rubber seal
