Angry COLD air blowing out of driver side memory seat button's.

Hello
Its 46' degrees here in NYC and i was driving 65 mph on cruise control. When i noticed my left knee was getting frozen while i have heat on. So i put my hand next the the window button's and noticed a lot of wind coming from there. When i put my hand next to the memory seat button's i felt it alot more like there is a little vent there for cold air. I know its blowing outside air for sure. So i am confused as how this is happening? any one got a picture of the door panel off? any fell or anything needed to be there for it to block the air coming from outside to my memory seats? i couldn't even drive with my left hand on the lower steering because it get's freezing. So any input or advice would be greatly appreciated.( i rly don't have the time to go to lexus)

for me, this only happens when my sun roof is vented... Other than that it doesn't do it.

Little update
When i was driving home yesterday it hasn't done it. But before i took the ride i was looking around the door panel area and i noticed that the door panel next to the door where it starts. Basiclly when you open the door all the way and on the inside where there is a hole for vent there is still door panel trim there. It was moving i took a flash light and noticed a clip is missing. The only way this clip can be missing is when lexus changed my both side mirror's under the TSB they lost it. Now i was looking around on Mylexparts.com and oemlexusparts.com and i can't find that clip that i am looking for. I even looked at illustrations and no luck. Basically i am hoping its just a silly clip and i will never again notice this. So for now i am on a hunt for a clip!!!!!!! ill keep u guys updated if this will fix the problem but it might take a little while because its gonna get hot and i doubt i would feel hot air as much. BTW 3GS404 thanks for the link i have seen it before but i was looking more like a illustration of the inside of the door panel to located clips,fell,ETC ETC.

Anyone have an illustration of the Front door panel clips? In need badly i noticed the passenger side is missing one too. For better understanding Look at part # 8 right under it is a little square connected to the whole door panel there is a clip there and i am missing them on both side's (after lexus performed outside mirror's TSB's). I would rather order them and do it myself as i don't trust them doing anything.http://mylexparts.com/partlocator/in...layCatalogid=0
