there is a couple of ways you can go about this, 1 you can rigg it up with washers. < Temorary fix only i would never reccomend this. You can find people parting cars out on here and the lexus owners club forums. Im pretty sure a novelist before you took it apart and broke a bunch of stuff.

Start by pulling it off and see what is wrong with it. There are about 7 screws supposed to be holding it on - and then there are a bunch of clips. Check to see where the problem is before you think about replacing anything...

I have a used panel from my SC300. It has some cracks in it that you might can repair as a opposed to buying a new one. I can send some close-up photos of the crack ares. What color interior? Mine is the brown scheme.
