    Hell yeah, thanks man! I have a slight rattle in my driver door when the Levinston hits and I’ve been meaning to take the door panel off to find what’s rattling in there. Looks like I have a new project today.
    I’m looking for a solution to the creaky armrest, anyone?

      I think I might have forgotten one screw in the video to be honest. I think if you lift the covered inside the door handle pocket directly south of the carbon fiber window controls, i believe there is a screw there. I could be wrong.

    Lexus/Toyota panels are generally pretty easy to remove. Good video Barry!

      @thehuangbros  3 года назад +1

      Pretty simple I agree Phuong. I think the part everyone fears is the the carbon fiber part because of the fact that it is carbon fiber.

    THANKS Barry ! ! ! Collision shop repaired my passenger side door and after the repair they couldn't get rid of a rattle. I was tired of bringing it back and wondered how ez or diff it would be to do myself. Your vid was EXCELLENT. PS found the shop dropped a screw into the door......idiots.

    Thanks for the great video. I also have a RC-F and the carbon piece around the window switch looks like it's bubbling up...i also noticed it in your video. It really bugs me and I was wondering if you had seen anywhere to get a replacement or possibly a diy hack?

    • @thehuangbros
      @thehuangbros  3 года назад +1

      So there is a cf overlay piece that goes over the switch controls available on ebay. Ive seen it in person and it doesn’t have the epoxy lifting like our oem. Its same quality and weave pattern as the cf trim piece for the bottom portion on the steering wheel. Really good quality. 270 i believe but to me worth it, I was going to go that route if ever.

    My carbon trim on passenger side is delaminating. That one piece is a thousand bucks lol definitely going to buy a third party part for that

    • @thehuangbros
      @thehuangbros  2 года назад

      Same. There are vendors on alibaba. I personally dont care where it is from as long as it doesnt delaminate and less than lexus pricing. Its a piece of carbon fiber no one is going to ever see unless they open you door.

    Hi. I tried to follow this guide for a RC350, passenger side door. I got to the part where I popped the door from all the clips, but it wasn't floppy, and I couldn't lift the door off. It seems like something was still holding the panel in the centre of the door. Have you ever seen that? It was a pain to get it back together, but I couldn't get access to change the mirror.

    • @MikeVhora

      Hi. Just found out that there is a fifth bolt that needs to be removed. It's in the centre of the door, under a small piece of carpet in the door handle.
