Jack: The 3'x6" gutter guard at Home Depot is made by Amerimax Home Products. It has a bar code of 049821852801. You'll find it in the department with the gutters. I bought it today for 1.94 . It's the very same guard I used on my 05 RX. You will find other recent information and photo's in this forum on the protection if you do a "search". I think there are about 3 threads going about this same topic.

From what you said about the dealership I have a good idea who it is. We bought four vehicles from them. Service and sales all are treated very properly. I do 90% of service at a dealer near where I work for convenience.
I have sent people to see this dealer also and would not hesitate to do it again and again.They will even deliver/ship your car nationwide. They have there own in house driver with truck and trailer.

I don't know how good/bad this dealership would be. However, I can't accept the dealer I got the car from is such ignorant or afraid of getting involved... In the future this dealership may or may not be kept away from me...

executive matchup
good question. the front bumper on the 450h is slightly different, but i haven't had a chance to examine closely if the lower air dam is the same as the regular 350. even if the 450h is not affected, it would still be a good idea to do this mod, if only to give you a piece of mind.

Maybe it's only me, I'm unable to guess what dealership Joe is talking about in LI.

I would actually want to know both dealers, since I got my RX from LI dealer (Rallye) and brought it there for 1k and 5k free service. Next 10k service is also free. After the 'honeymoon' period is over, I will most likely start looking for servicing dealer in NJ, since I work in NJ.

Rx350
I did the rain gutter mesh mod the first week I had my new 2007 RX350. Every once and awhile I will take a look at it. And will find a couple more new dents in the screen.
Very cheap insurance.

Update club members – we are now driving a Chevy Aveo courtesy of Lexus.
They called late Thursday agreeing to pay for a rental car for the duration of the repair.
Will keep you posted if we receive any other news.
Keep the modifications going.

Joe, was it the Lexus dealer or Lexus corporate, that got you the rental? It sounds like the latter. Glad they stepped up and that you have a vehicle for the time being.

I presume Chevy Aveo is a result of some 'sub-compact car at $15-30/per day x 3 months' calculation by Lexus Corp. Insurance typically covers about $30/per day up to certain max, depending on your policy limits. I wonder, if you can combine both, and upgrade. Also, did you ask Lexus for an extended warranty on the replaced engine?

Update members - heard from Corporate yesterday.
As of November 1st, Lexus will no longer be paying for a rental.
It was decided the New Jersey dealership will provide a loaner car for the remainder of the repair. Makes sense since our RX is there, 130 miles from home, but nonetheless appreciate the transportation.
Sure wish the dealership we purchased the car from would have been made to step up.
Will continue to keep you posted.
