Problem overview

Some Lexus IS250 owners report experiencing issues with the degradation of door panels, particularly in early model years from 2006 to 2008. This problem can cause the rubber parts of the door panels to become eroded and sticky, leaving residue on clothing. Many attribute this degradation to exposure to sunlight and high heat, which significantly deteriorates the material. Unfortunately, owners often find that there is no permanent solution unless the entire door panel is replaced. Those facing this issue are advised to check with Lexus dealerships for potential options to address the degraded door panels. Additionally, regular maintenance, including quality oil changes, may help prevent such issues from arising.
