How do I Replace a Lexus LS430 Passenger Window?

A broken passenger window may not reduce the driving visibility in your Lexus LS430 but it can still affect the overall appearance of your vehicle. In addition, it can also put the Lexus at risk of being broken into or damaged further. To avoid this scenario you need to replace the damaged window with a completely new pane of glass. You can pick up a replacement pane from your local auto store.

Instructions

1

Open up the door of your Lexus which contains the damaged passenger window. Use a phillips-head screwdriver to remove the mounting screws which fix the door panel to the inside of the door. Remove the door panel from the door.

2

Take the screws out of the door handle and the door handle trim. Pull them both away from the Lexus. Use your hands to pull away the water deflector from the door. Just keep pulling it towards you until it comes away from the door.

3

Use a hex wrench to remove the bolts which connect the damaged passenger window to the window regulator.

4

Put on a pair of safety gloves and begin lifting the damaged pieces of glass from the window frame. Take care not to cut your hands.

5

Place the new glass pane in to the door frame. Line up the bolt holes on the regulator with those on the glass and secure in place with the hex wrench. Reattach the door by following the removal steps in reverse.
