A master window switch is plug and play. There are plenty of aftermarket ones on ebay that work fine. I bought one on ebay that was Chinese made for my 2008 back in the days and it never failed after 2 years. If you buy just the switch console itself you'll pay $50, but if you purchase the entire switch with the wood trim than you're looking at $150 and up. Just buy the switch console held it with a couple of screws and reuse your original wood trim panel that surrounds your switch.

Hi Josh! They are interior door window trims. They're falling off because the clips that hold them down have come loose over time. You can remove them and use a pair of pliers to bend the clips back in place or just hit your local dealer for a set of new ones. After you install them, make sure to lube your rubber window tracks. Anything that will go in contact with your window (the rubbers that form the frame) should be lubed. Here is a link: www.amazon.com/3-ONE-Care-Rubber-Conditioner/dp/B071QZH2R8/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=silicone+lubricant+for+car+windows&qid=1632321241&sr=8-3

The 470 and 460 are different in design but the removal and install concepts are basically the same. In the 470, you're going to have a screw underneath the power window module and one underneath the armrest. The door lights are also in different places but there are no screws behind them. Once you remove the screw behind the interior door handle, behind the armrest, and underneath the power window module, start pulling the entire door panel off slowly and see what else is holding it in. Its all pretty much plastic knobs holding the panel in from this point.

They were blown when we got the car. Same with the SC. The rubber speaker gasket crumbles over time, especially if the car is stored in dampness, I.E. not in a dry garage. Some other gangster might have blown them. The ML system needs some volume to sound best, but not a crazy amount. The 04 GX has two blown ML speakers also from a elderly lady who had it before us. I agree, no trashy music in these. Have to respect the craftsman who carefully made them. Lexus should have in their contract a clause that allows them to be confiscated for abuse. Maybe some kind of strict qualification application before you are even allowed to buy these cars in the first place, like when you are allowed to adopt a child. Need new drivers seat leather for 03 LS 430 and a 95 LS400. Any reasonable cost ideas? The 95 is a dream. It’s my older sons baby. We have had it 5 years, paid $3000. It’s been on two 1500 mile trips and coast to coast twice. Would drive it cross country today without considering weather it would have any problems.
