Stupid Flyer got sucked into my door
So I go to my car last night and get in and notice a flyer on my passanger door that was slipped into the window portion. I put down the window to knock it off but instead it sucked it into the door......how am I going to get it out?
Does anyone know if the door panel pops off easy or will I risk rattles and stuff? Any other ideas on how to get it out?

I'd then charge the company on the flyer however much it cost you to pull it out. Nothing worse than littering flyers on doors, cars, or anyplace else.

I would let Lexus perform the operation on your door. That way if you lose or break any clips or parts, they can be replaced.

Neither the company nor the printer nor the flyer distributor not the individual who placed it there would be responsible. You're better off trying to sue the parking lot owner.

How much do you think I would be charges for this?

Call your dealer for a price and let us know how it works out.

Sorry to say you can't charge someone for you own laziness JMO.
Same as if someone was loading their groceries and the cart rolled through the lot and hit your car............
Get the flyer out from the dealership and then take the company on the flyer to small claims..........I'd be willing to bet you'll win. After all, placing a flyer on the side window could be considered negligent because the window is a movable object.
How about this one.......leaving the flyer on the window and then it rains. The inks stain the window or paint..........again, I think you'd be able to prove that " They should have known better".
The odds are in your favor after all..........since most people hate those F-in things on their cars to start with......You have GQ public on your side.
