Tailgate Rubber Surround

[sam_84h]

G'day all,

I've owned the RX330 for 1 year and we love the refinement. When we bought the car the was a creaking from the back and on the test drive I established that it was the rubber seal around the tailgate that had deteriorated and was causing the annoying noise. Whilst it is a simple fix, Lexus spare parts make it an expensive bit of rubber at more than $700!

There must be a better option. Has anyone found US sellers willing to ship to Oz? or even non-genuine parts? The sound is annoying but I simply can't justify that kind of money and a bit of rubber.

Any help would be highly appreciated!

G'day Sam, welcome to the club!

I've previously bought parts for my RX350 from the states at about a third of the local cost (even including airfreight).
