Default Blister on rear panel behind seats

Anyone experience this and have a suggestion on how to fix? Car is otherwise immaculate.
Thanks.

Hi Franco,

I just saw mine today. Same problem, same spot. I cleaned the Mini Lexus glass separator the other day and it was not there. Go figure. Although, I must say if that is the biggest problem I have with the car, I guess I am ok.

Best,

Tom

I have the same problem on my 07. I have been considering using a syringe to inject some glue into the bubble and rolling it out. My car is not out of winter storage, so I have some time to think about it. What do you guys think.

The pin idea is a good idea. I have also heard of using a needle (for injections) and sucking the air out.

One guy I know went the glue route but ended up thinking just deflating it would have been better.

So poked it with a sewing needle and flattened it out per Lawler999 suggestion

Very happy with it.

My sc430 is black when ever i park in the sun i place an insulated pad on the package tray. The rear window i think magnifies the heat and the package tray covering heats up and the glue that holds it down must lift and expand. I pierced mine with a pin rolled over it with a round metal roller. Problem solved have had no issue since but i do use the pad

Is that how you got your Club Lexus name?
