99 Ls400 Mk4 Center Air Vent Unit

[IZZY_STRADLIN]

Hello there!

I have a1999 LS400 that I've bough recently.
I'm missing the manual adjustmet parts (the sliders) on my central air vent unit.
I have tried eBay.co.uk, eBay.com, eBay.ca and some other car parts sites with no luck finding a 98-00 LS400 centre air vent unit. As I assume there is no way someone could sell me just the slider parts for it. There are plenty of 89-97 air vents out there, though. I'm looking to buy the whole centre air vent unit, but I'm not sure if the vents from a non sat nav MK4 will fit to mine, that has the sat nav.
If someone could help me find an air vent unit for my model, or If anybody knows someone who is parting out a 98-00 LS400 with sat nav would be nice to know!
I live outside UK - in Sofia, Bulgaria, but there is no problem to figure out delivery or payment.

Thanks!
Izzy

There are no non satellite versions of the mark 4 Lexus versions that were sold in Europe the Mark 4 came as an all up version unlike the USA where you got a base model and added extras when it was ordered.

The part you are looking for is usually available on eBay if someone is breaking them ,the only trouble is the Mark 4 as become sought after and there are very few being broken these days as you have found out.

I suggest you check with Lexus and find out what part you have to purchase it could be that the sliders are a part seperate from the body unit.

there are some parts listed for the 98 model on gumtree

also a fjord mist coloured mark 4 has just been listed today for parts - might be worth trying both of these sellers

Thanks!
I've already emailed the guy on eBay who has the fjord mist LS (and some other ones), will try the gumtree too (never heard of it before, I'm not living in GB) !
and I thought searching for the holy grail was a bitch! :D
