Right knee panel issue? pics inside
2010 RX350
Noticed that the panel near my right knee is uneven and does not line up right causing a somewhat of a sharp edge
Rubbing your hand over the gab you can tell there is an edge
IS this a known problem. Anyone else out here with same issue?
thanks

On our 2015, I can feel an edge (not very sharp) in that general vicinity, but it's nowhere near my knee when driving. My knee is several inches below that. BTW- I'm six feet tall.

This where two or more panels meet. They snap into place and there is usually an amount of give as some give is designed in. If you can determine which piece needs to be raised you can add a packing underneath it. The difficulty is one has to be sure that the other panel should have gone in a bit more and a third panel is preventing it from going in.
Easiest solution is not to bring that thing to attention ... my analogy is tongue in your mouth will keep going to a tooth which has a raised edge.

Trini I know my question would sounds strange but are you Male or Female if u r men just watch how your wife/girlfriend or any Female driver get out of car after driving.
I had same problem with my 3rd gen, pushed dealer to replace clips couple times than change all new panel at 44k on lexus cost(880$) because was 100% positive there is design issue
Then one time with new trims installed I saw how my wife get out....
She keeps bag all time on passenger seat and before she leaves car almost all time checking on her knee if she didn't forget anything and not always but one of hundreds bag handle snap in corners between trims and when she jumped out simply pulled out panel
Witnessed twice on my own eyes
Never happened on 1st or 2nd gen
that's my 2 cents
if ur car never was driving by woman watch if u snag with jeans stitches or jacket u may no even pay attention
