Welcome to my channel! I love to work on my car and this channel is a way for me to document it. Hopefully some of these modifications help you with your car as well! Feel free to subscribe if any of it is useful or if you'd like to follow along. :)
I have a question for you. I bought all the same things you did, but for some reason my black Sugru turned light grey and now it doesn’t match the dash. It started out the perfect color match for the dash right out of the package, but I kneaded it, and it turned light grey. Yours looks like a perfect match. Did you not knead the sugru???
Lexus replaced the whole dashboard for me for free, my car is 2012. I take my car to my local dealership for oil changes and in one of those times they told me Lexus would pay for everything.
Anyone who has used this product two to three years ago, can you tell us if it is still intact or has the sun or heat caused problems with it staying in good shape? Thanks.
Hey i have a similar head unit but for some reason my climate control still works when i press the buttons but it won’t display any info on the screen anybody have a similar issue?
How did u get the knicks out of the panel thats what im dealing with now after trying to l Pluck some of the debris out ..im assume it comes wiith good directions ? Its really hard to tell how you actually did anything in this video
@marksmoddiary7485 do the OEM volume and tune knobs do anything with this new head unit? Do the rear defrost and heated mirrors work? How's the sound quality?
I've got a personal story about Fresno Lexus where I bought my 2008 lexus 350es in 2010. When purchasing the vehicle I got what is called " chrome package" which was a additional 2,500$ ....all this was was changing the standard rims to " chrome" rims. Well as a year passed by I noticed the Chrome on the rims was flaking off. So I went to fresno lexus and was able to talk to the general manager of the place n I showed her the rims in which she acknowledged they were shitty...then out from down the pathway comes a suit n tie employee who injected himself in the discussion and he looks at the rims and insults my intelligence by telling me that the damage on the rims was caused by using a pneumatic tool and that's what caused the flaws in the chrome....I replied immediately with a jokingly " get the fuck out of here with that bullshit" in which he reacts as if I was getting mad....I assure you I wasnt.....I looked at the Manger and realized they were creating a false interaction just to get me the fuck out of there without taking care of me as a paid customer!!!! I split after the way they handled me...as the years go by every time I think about how they treated me I get fucking pissed...in fact ima call them today and remind them of how not to take care of a customer....pissed off now thinking bout it....oh yeah....almost forgot....that same guy tells me that there's only 3 places in California that do chrome...he told me that cause after that pneumatic bullshit I told him about my lowriders I hop backbumper n the chrome has never flaked off like their chrome bullshit rims!!!! Anyways....peace...can't wait to call them now...str8 heated...
So hear me out hear, I do love a way to red neck things. I fixed my sticky dash, by spraying brake and clutch cleaner on a cloth and scrubbing the crap out the the dash. Then once everything was dry I do the same with matt black boot Polish, wiped off the excess and done. Looks great, smells great, repeat ever six months.
Lexus totally dropped the ball on this recall by offering it to countless people and then screwing countless people. There was actually a class action against Lexus over this. The recall program ceased about four years ago now as I recall. I have a 2007 IS350 and fortunately they did replace my dash many years ago, but they were always out of the door panels, so they put me on a “waiting list”. The problem is that they never called me even after I followed up with them over the years. I eventually forgot about it and then the program ceased. At least I got the dash redone as it was really sticky. The door panels look horrible and I’m not about to spend $4500.00 on new panels when there are no compatible aftermarket panels for the IS. I think I’ll use this video and see if I can make mine look better. Truth be told, it wouldn’t take much for an improvement in mine since they are so bad. I hate it, because the car only has 67K miles on it. Great video!
Just learning about this recall as we bought our son a 08 is250 with door and dash issue. Went to few pick n pull and all 6 had this issue already or been taken lol. Local junk yard charges SO MUCH FOR this year car. Even more than my BMW, which is wild. But we are temporarily buying dash cover & debating to try this method for the two doors with major signs of cracking and missing chucnks
@@Oneklickmedia If the car is in good shape, I would at least purchase the dash if you can’t find one second hand. You’d also need to know the manufacturing date of the second hand one to make sure that you’re not purchasing another one of the defective ones if you found one. The dash is really too big to try and fix and I don’t think that it can be fixed to make it look decent. Good luck.
