Ugh - that's what I'm afraid of. I've got rust along and under the rubber strip on the top of the windshield. Will try the drain hoses first but I fear this is what I'm dealing with as well. Thanks, Brian

Thanks for the replies. Once it gets above single digit temps around here I'll give this a try and report back.

Wondering if anyone else has experience this - when it's really raining and I've been parked outside a couple times when I get in I noticed a bit of wetness in the cup holder area. When I started driving water streamed out of the corner of the sunglasses holder. The holder itself and my...

Cargo cover is stored in the garage. I have the rear seats down and the whole back open. Now, that said the rattle is a baby rattle or :wow: rattlesnake (not that I have heard one!) sound that is consistent but does occur more on rougher roads. There are rare times that it's quiet back there...

Yup, large is perfect - it fits snugly into each holder and doesn't pull up at all when grabbing the container for a sip of refreshment while driving. Fits different shaped items as you can see.

I looked at this but it seems pricey. Ended up buying a couple of these in the large size. The Official Store for Drink Docker Products | Drink Docker Arrived yesterday and they fit perfect as is - but come with sticky foam tape pieces in case you need to firm up the fit. I typically have an...

I've got a rattle coming from the back (likely tailgate) that I can't track down for the life of me - will have to try this. It's not a squeak, it's a rattle. I pulled the panel off and got in there with a vacuum to get the bits of rust and other stuff out thinking that may be it (the area...

Recently purchased my first 4Runner as a "winter" and dog hauling vehicle. Loving it as a daily winter driver and carting dogs, hunting and dive gear around! 2003 Sport 236k

According to Crutchfield it should fit (based on my 2003, non-JBL, non-RDS). I just put a JVC KW-V250B in my 2003 along with replacing the 6x9 front door and 6 1/2" rear door speakers. I paid the little extra to get the Crutchfield rediharness ($25) and install was a BREEZE with all the...

BackOff - I must have done that exactly at least 20 times. A couple weeks ago when I had the OBDII code read I tried it so many times my battery drained so far it wouldn't start and I had to put it on the charger, which, while a different issue at least I learned in my garage that I needed a...

Recently purchased 2003 Sport and it's showing no lights when the ignition switch is on. I also have no lights when I start the engine. However, once I put it in drive or reverse the VSC TRAC and TRAC OFF lights come on. No other lights are on. It runs and drives just fine but I want these...

Great thread, wish I'd found it before I bought my '03 but still tons of great info! Thanks. Have already replaced all the interior lighting bulbs w/ LEDs - huge improvement (not the in dash or buttons just the door, license plate, map and dome lights). Replaced the factory radio and door...

Did this on my '03 V6 last weekend. Slightly different procedure but able to follow these instructions nonetheless. Easy to do! Didn't notice much difference but was still fun playing around in there.

Hello, similar issue but not eactly - hopefully someone can help on this matter. Recently purchased 2003 Sport and it's showing no lights when the ignition switch is on. I also have no lights when I start the engine. However, once I put it in drive the VSC TRAC and TRAC OFF lights come on. No...

Great thread for a new owner, thanks all!
