Default What Will Lexus Warranty Cover?

I have a few things I have written down since purchasing my F used with remaining factory warranty. They annoy me but don’t necessarily cause me serious distress.

Many of you have far more experience with Lexus Service, than I, so I would appreciate some feedback. This would be the first used car with the factory warranty still intact for me, but not for long because 50k is approaching soon and I’m still debating on the extended warranty.
I generally do all my own maintenance, so I'd like for Lexus to take care of what they should before the warranty runs out. I have a service time scheduled with Freeman Lexus in Santa Rosa, CA in a week.

These are my issues:

Front drivers head light leaks-condensation inside.

Sunroof rattle (broken plastic bar that I think works the fabric panel)

Upon cold engine start, ticking from passenger side cyl head area(I've never heard another F's engine before so I can’t be sure if this tick is normal or not).

Wheel finish flaking off near center cap area

Noise squeak windshield- dash near center channel speaker (A gap has formed between the dash and center vent-related?)

Left of driver’s seat (door panel-seat belt pillar panel) squeak-noise while car is driving. Sometimes sounds like the doors ajar.

Similar noise coming from passenger side front seat area.

What would normally be covered?

Thanks.

I'm in same boat and curious about the rubber seal in between the trim and the windshield on the outside. It's cracked, and definitely shouldn't be for a 20k mile car.

I don't see why all those things wouldn't be covered under warranty. Door squeaks might only need some silicone lubricant on the rubber seals.

Take it in for warranty service. Don't leave the dealer without Taking the shop foreman for a ride and pointing out the issues. Otherwise, you may get nothing done but "Unable to duplicate".
