Might be worth a look.
Oh, you must’ve had a LS460. I remember those days. I had one of the first LS 460L that came off the line. The wind noise was so bad Lexus ended up buying it back from me after 1 year. I decided to give Lexus one more try and bought another (1 yr newer) model. By that time some forum members figured out exactly what the issue was, the loose side mirror triangle. Once it was glued on property, no wind noise whatsoever. Actually, after the fix, LS 460 was one of the quitest cars I’ve ever driven.
