Yes 27 Nm = 20 ft-lbs torque. Unless noted otherwise (like some parts in your diagram), Toyota lists torque in the following manner: Nm (kg-cm, ft-lb).

Another sunroof link and other notes For completeness sake, here's a good post on how to remove the sunroof (use the original TSB in linked in the original post 1 above and follow this): http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/216969-sunroof-grinding-after-stuck-open.html Of note, my...

Semi-fix (allows for a flush glass/roof interface) So after reading the original TSB (on page 9; attached in original post), it appears that you SHOULD be able to manually side the guide rails. You would achieve this by: 1) removing the sunroof glass to get access to the bracket (which I've...

I took off the 2 sets of left and right side interior plastic garnishes and removed the 4 T25 bolts and removed the sunroof. Looks like the driver side and passenger sliding rails are both off track (drivers side is more rearward than the passenger side--see photos; explains why the passenger...

I lost one of my original transponder keys and didn’t feel like paying the dealer to get a new one (let alone the programming fee). Anyways, stumbled on a Toyota Sienna post about getting a transponder key and programming it yourself (caveat--you need to have the original master key). Anyways...

Need help: Inoperable sunroof in nearly fully closed position 2003 4Runner Issue: Sunroof inoperable. Currently not fully closed (frontmost glass is closed, back driver’s glass looks 1/4” too low, but back passenger side is about 3/8” too low) and I get wind buffeting at freeway speeds. I...

You'll need a whole new rear latch assembly. Here's probably the cheapest source at this time: http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Toyota-Parts-69110-35090-Latch/dp/B005VWRAIC

For kicks, I taped up the top molding and I get way worse buffeting. I'll call the installer (independent) and have him redo the windshield seal. It's buffeting badly above 60 mph. I'll have him look at the lower cowl on the windshield as well. Will update once it's done. Thanks for the...

They sealed it pretty good. It's on there tight. Do you still have the original top windshield seal? And if you do, what does it look like? Or can you take a pic and post it? Thanks.

Again, I'm looking for a picture of any 4th gen 4Runner top moulding for the front windshield to see what the original Toyota piece looks like. Ideally, also where the top moulding meets the side moulding (much like the picture I took in the original post). See #8 in this attached...

My 2003 4Runner just had the front windshield replaced. The tech mentioned that he would use aftermarket top windshield weatherstrip to cut down on costs and I shouldn't notice a thing. Ever since that replacement, I have bad wind noise above 40 mph, especially at highway speeds. Even on a...

Mine looks very similar to the others at 2 spots on the right side of the window by the weatherstripping. I had the Toyota body shop treat the surface rust bubbling, repair and repaint the rear hatch for $760 (basic natural white color). Looks like a new hatch now.

How much do you want for your front speakers?

Disconnect your negative battery terminal (or whatever terminal you originally disconnected). Then clean up both the battery terminal and your connection--make sure all grease and corrosion is off the terminal (use isopropyl alcohol if you have grease on the terminals). Then reconnect up the...
