Stone chip on front camera- What to do?
#16
Installed xpel. Cut it into a circle. It took FOREVER for it to stick to the camera but it eventually did. Used a towel to keep rubbing it down. It dried more so it sticks better than what you see in the photo.
Also, it does not alter the vision of the pano view in any way.

Better than nothing, but still not much protection compared to glass. Also since some edges are lifted it's possible that xpel will be blown away in the wind or in the car wash, if you dare to use tunnel washes.

washed my car today. strong hose, wash mitt and the xpel didn't come off at all.
I was scared to dry the area but I lightly dried the camera and nothing peeled off. It looks way more snug now that it had time to dry. I didn't do a perfect circle so there is one small piece that is sticking out but no issues

I have a feeling it's just cheap plastic... We aren't talking 4k camera here. The technology itself is relatively simple and dated. Lexus (and the auto industry as a whole) just like to charge a fortune for outdated technology.

I was talking to the parts guy today and he told me a new camera with the cable is $ 571 plus tax.
I was told that another customer took his camera out and took it to a camera store where they took the old lens off and replaced it with a new one for $125.
