I just uploaded a video discussing some nagging annoyances on my LC500, which truly aren't that much of an issue - just minor things. I was curious if any of you have had these issues with your LC500. I know for sure that the seatbelt issue has been discussed in here, but I also wanted to know on the other two. I would sincerely appreciate your feedback on these please. Thanks in advance!
I am picking up my 24 in a couple weeks, will let you know on the seatbelt bit what mine looks like.
btw, what part of FL are you in? I've been trying to find someone with the armytrix so I can hear it in person, need to decide if closed valves are still too loud for the wife

Thanks! Yeah, I'm pretty sure some other owners took delivery of their LC with the seatbelt flipped (as shown in the video). It seems that it's a mix - some do and some don't have it flipped. Curious if it's intentional from factory. Can't imagine if there's no consistency.
I'm in Orlando. As for the Armytrix, it's actually quieter than OEM with the valves closed. If you're close by, we can always coordinate to meet up!
Here’s my ‘24. Is it twisted? If so, it doesn’t bother me. What bothers me though, is the lack of height adjustment. The edge of the belt irritates my neck. The only way is to adjust the seat height so high that my head hits the roof. I’m 5’9.
My hood doesn’t pop open much either. I think this was the same as my GSF. Again, doesn’t bother me. Real easy to just stick your finger in there and lift it up.

Wow quieter than OEM with valves closed is unexpected and actually awesome. I am in north Tampa so not too far out, perhaps I will make the drive over once I have the car and have it PPFd. I won't touch I-4 before that
Will message you directly to coordinate once I'm rocking and rolling, appreciate your willingness to help
Seat belts twisted on mine, guess I ignore it. Hood pops with latch, noticeable sound and opens to secondary catch.
My peeve is the roof to frame alignment on the Convertible, especially the right top side. Dealership "adjusted" it, but when looking across the top you can still see it's not straight (didn't and doesn't leak, so that's good). It's also visible from the inside drivers seat, looking toward the Pax top right corner (side window to roof line) you can see a small gap in the seals. Like I said, it's better but still there.

Have you tried pulling belt all the way out? I've had this happen in a different vehicle and the fold was at the belt's end of range. Also, I use a seat belt shoulder adjuster to keep belt off my neck since I prefer the seat lower in cabin for more head space.

I tried pulling it all the way out but didn’t help.
I have to look into the shoulder adjuster. Which one you use? Is it a one time set up or I have to put it on every time I put on the seatbelt.

I was thinking the same thing.
Upper seatbelt retractor on coupe seems to dispense from more of a vertical slot/mount (haven’t seen a coupe in person) and convertible dispenses from a horizontal slot/mount. Hmmm?
Looked again at the author’s video of his coupe seatbelt and I’d say it’s correctly mounted but I’m no expert.
As I said in my video, I don't think that the seatbelt and hood latch are major issues, but just annoyances. It's just odd how Lexus would have such inconsistencies (belt issue), especially when their quality control for this car is exceptional.

Not getting a seat belt installed correctly does not sound exceptional. Putting a trunk matt in the 2024 that is not correct does not sound exceptional. I love my lc, but there are several very simple easy to catch things that are being missed. Mine has dirt in the paint on the drivers door. Must have been assembled on Friday. Yes, I should have caught this at purchase.

Nagging Issues on My LC500
