Don't use the OEM ones that are intended for the older Lexus models with a different design of the hinge pin.
Here is the link - you should find it in eBay as well.

I was actually the one who posted it. They are non-OEM ones but they fit perfectly as if they were OEM. In fact, there is a patent for their design (it is in one of the pictures on my post)

Coool! Mine are still holding up well (it should-it's a factory part)
I never got around to trimming that little lip. kind of won't want to deal with scratching my paint with a razor blade by mistake..

Parts ordered, thanks for the writeup!
Is there a similar weatherstrip in front of the front door on the gs? Seems like it would serve the same purpose there. ..

Not that I know of. There's a bead of seam sealer that runs down the edge I think... the door or fender would need to be specifically made for that i think. i'd probably want one for the rear door first.

Thanks for this DIY. Took about 30 minutes and looks completely factory. Not sure why Lexus cheaped out and did not include this. Really helps to enhance the luxury image. I suppose it's the same reason that they eliminated memory seats from the F Sport model.
