Couple of Technical Service Bulletins I found
#3
Great find. I had read about the acoustic glass on this forum. When I asked the salesman about installing acoustic galss to reduce wind noise he got irritated. He told me bluntly that I shouldn't believe everything I read on the internet. He went on to say that the RX350 is extremely quiet and no one has ever complained about wind noise. He closed by saying that there is no such thing as acoustic glass.
Thank goodness for forums like these!
Question: Is Lexus now installing acoustic glass on all vehicles or are they just allowing it to be installed under warranty on those vehicles that are affected? Thanks.

Wind Noise
I think my RX350 has an unacceptable amount of wind noise at highway speed. I have been thinking what to do about it. I notice a lot of upper door movement at speed also.

Very interesting find. Thanks. My RX is one of the earlier, and therefore 'affected' models. If I'm reading the bulletins correctly, models Before a certain VIN don't have the improved parts (radio and glass) and those After the VIN already have them. I'll have to make it a point to ask the people on the other end of my phone call if they are hearing static. I don't remember anyone complaining, but that doesn't mean it wasn't happening. Hmmmmm

This is great, where do you find this info? And I wonder if it applies to Canadian cars too. I am getting really annoyed with the creaking noise coming from somewhere behind the steering wheel, it happens when its cold, and im going over a small bump and turning, sometimes it sounds like a rattle, I cant really pin point it, but the other thread said that the GS had something similar and there was a fix for it.

On a side note, I have a J built RX made in 08/09 and it has the glass in it. So chances are if yours is built around the same time as mine, you've already got the glass.
Production methods are consistent regardless of where the cars are built. If the Japan plant is using one kind of glass, the Canadian plant is too.

Noises, more noises. I'm not sure we all describing the same, but mine comes in a sort of trembling noise from the steering wheel. It is a weird noise I am having hard time identifying. I think it comes from the heating duct, and is electric in nature. The noise goes away after 10-15 minutes from when the car heats up, but annoying in cold.
The last posted TSB is actually a good find, and I will definitely bring this up at the next service visit.

Thank you, but forgive me for being so naive. It's our responsibility to dig through service bulletins and find possible problems or solutions to our problems?
Is the practice to occasionally search for your model and year? Or if you have a problem search for it? Do you pay the fee and search away?
Obviously a bit new to this...
