Love my RX 330 and the only thing I am a bit
disappointing in seeing is the large rubber molding
right under the front wiper started to get very discolored
and the plastic looks to be disintegrating over time

Do you see this piece getting aged due to sun damaged ?
I am in CA and we don’t get too hot up here which is dven
more surprising to see this happening

I havent seen or experienced any sunfade or color discoloration along the black plastic trim on my RX. The interior dashboard (prior to being replaced) and the headlights are another matter though.

Also hot weather isn't what causes the color or plastic to fade or discolor but rather sun and UV exposure.

If you don't have a garage and park your Lexus outside or on the streets, chances are the UV exposure will cause some of the trim pieces to fade over time.
