Helo there,

Any solutions for dented interior aluminium trims?

OUCH, how did u do that, I know some guys had that same problem too, but I don't know what they did to fix it.

Maybe PDR will work?

I got a bunch of those too. Not sure how PDR will work on aluminum trim but that sounds like an idea. I don't bother trying to fix them because I know they are going to come back eventually.

Door panels are mostly made of aluminum these days. I figure it's worth a try if those trim pieces are expensive.

I seriously take extra care when it comes to those trims ! and I have no idea how I got them =S

GtiB

btw, is there any manual on how to take the trim pieces out ?

Just noticed there's a dent on the aluminum trim of the front passenger door. Ugh.

how bad are the dents? Can you snap a picture? See if lexus will change them under the warranty? Is that considered normal "wear and tear"?

GtiB

it's a very small dent, you can barely see it under the sunlight ! but still

i know the feeling, I dropped my iphone 5 a week after I got it on tile floor and it put a small chip on the side and it drives me nuts.
I would call your dealer and see what they say. It shouldn't dent so easily...

mrpartsman

one of the guys had the dealer change it for them under warranty, I don't know y they should bent so easily,I would call the dealer and have them change it, the car is still under warranty.

I had dents on my cupholder lid and on the panel above the glovebox. My dealer replaced both at no charge, and I've been extra careful since. I still have dents on the driver's side door panel trim, but I have a feeling if I had it replaced I would just dent it all over again... plus, I don't see it when I'm driving... so I've left it alone. This aluminum trim is beautiful but soft!

Dents passenger rear. Getting the whole inside replaced, total cost 1-2G as per service technician. They can't just remove the aluminum piece funny enough.

I got a dent on the driver side aluminium trim the same day i got my car! happily drove home the car, push button to release seat belt. The seatbelt retract action is so powerful dat it swing back & hit the aluminium trim! The dent is like 1 dimple!!! Sad..
