Left123, the passenger side wiper arm has a pivot or gear system in the bottom of the arm itself. It can make a squeaking noise. Mine did and was replaced under warranty. See if you can isolate the noise location. IIRC the part was under $200.

Edit here is a link to a simpler fix:

Thanks for the response NVAKeith.

I stumbled upon that very link after posting this last night and will hopefully try that fix before having to resort to more costly fixes like replacement (or making the wife just live with it if it's $200!).

Thanks again.

Had to get car retinted for the first time since we bought it in 2008 because of NYS inspection law.

Default Today I am still...

trying to learn the options. (bought new 2017 yesterday)
For instance, the side view mirrors folded when I locked it yesterday. Today they did not. Trying to figure what setting I changed...

I’m the baby blue one
Changed all the inside lights to LED (without any errors)
Installed LED Fog lights, DRL’s/High beams with a R1 decoder (so I can run them both),
city lights, and side markets. Front turns I left alone (Amber)
Installed LED reverse lights, lisence plates, and side markets.
Ive tried installing red LED’s into the parking lights but it gave me a code twice,
so I left them alone, LED Amber rear turning signals, tried to install blinking brake lights.
That did not work out at all, those are build in LED’s from Lexus. Can not change them at all.
Tinted the front window to match the back, and installed chrome door handles.

wrong forum, but there’s a button that says “auto” for the folding mirrors that turns this function on and off
