Fixed my door molding
As you can see in pic 1 ,my lower door molding was seperating. I tried adhesives/epoxies of various types and nothing held for long. I was not aware until I got my own GS parts catalog that the moldings can be ordered painted from Lexus. They list for 30.00 each. Without quoting a price, Steve can get it for much less. Book calls for 1.5 hours. It can be done in less than 5 minutes each side via a safe shortcut. Since I have seen many GS's on the road with the same problem, I hope this helps some of you.

Besides it was very very cheap to do and I do not trust any mechanic,Lexus tech or otherwiise, to mess with my cars.Past experience along with professional observation in my career.

I have had that problem since I got my GS in 1997, It's happend on the same door (Passenger front) 5 times. It's real annoying.
I just checked it again now and It's cracked too. Make that 6 times.

Book calls for removing the lower door molding that the molding strip is connected to. The strip is held on via 5 small phillip screws. Open the door and remove the 3 10mm black plastic nuts holding the door molding. Using a flat head screwdriver, pry apart the lower molding from the door to gain access to the screws. Dont worry, it flexes a bit and you only need an inch of clearance. Remove the phillip screws and then slide the strip out. Reverse the process.
If you hear a pop while seperating the door/lower molding-it is just the snap . Just pop it back when your done by pushing on it.
