Thumbs up Thank you!

TSB was perfect! looking for the right adhesive and primers was a challenge. Aloha

I don't understand why it's so complicated really? I would have assumed it was industrial 3M tape.

clubsport I beleive it's available from Sewell http://lexus.sewellparts.com/#

I went for the OE TSB installation with DOW Automotive adhesive and primers.

Yes I know I read your posts. I am skeptical that it's really making any difference though. It's just a straight replacement right?

You have to see the TSB or actual trim to understand it. I had your impressions when I first ordered the part, Lexus part guy almost refused to sell me the trim due to complexity. I decided not to cut corners and do it right!

I recommend the rubber alignment guide ($20), it keeps the molding easier to set straight and resting during the 30 min curing phase. The molding comes in a triangle box with molding only ($60)..none else! FYI Dow primers and adhesive are OE for modern auto glass installation techniques and are very similar in application with this molding.
