I have the pieces, I had them fabbed myself
My counsel (and some friends) suggested to wait before doing it myself to see if Lexus will budge
It's always fun fighting a giant

Wait to hear more of your replies

Me too but he was nice enough to mail them to me, Thanks again JIM! I was hoping since its a well known issue at Lexus Corp that they would just come out with a revised trim piece or atleast teach the techs a way to seal the holes and gaps. The came up with something since the 2010+ dooesnt have wind noise. Lexus if you guys are reading this please do something my Range Rover is much quieter inside all I hear is the engine driven cooling fan

I finally gave up on my 07 LS460 with the constant wind noise (did the JCraney fix and still had wind noise). The uncomfortable front seats and poor interior fit was another problem. The car was in the dealer for a recall at least oncea month in the 3 years I owned it.

Got smart sold it to the dealer and bought a 04 LS430 from a private party with 34K miles on it. The same mileage as my 07 - 460. I only paid 1/4 of the price I paid for the LS460..

One of best things I have ever done.
Lexus still says "there is no such thing as wind noise in the LS460"

Thanks for saying that. I have been tempted by the 7 series recently, but have come to my senses. The LS is as reliable as it gets in this neck of the luxury woods.

I agree that the car is beautiful and still is King of the road comparing to BMW or MERC. Again, in comparison to the previous LS models the LS460 has be the worst in quality. The previous LS430 is one solid machine...
