FYI - $400 cash and couple of weeks waiting for the new glass and we're back in business. Be careful out there...

Anyone have any experience/knowledge about replacing the touch screen on a factory nav head unit? I decide to swing the corner of a heavy bag full of ammo around and bust mine out this weekend. Unit works otherwise - no damage to the pixels underneath, just lost all touch capabilities...

Yeah, I had already taken mine to the dealer to perform the TSB. Of course, they were unable to "replicate the issue" and blamed it on my roof rack, but allegedly did what the TSB says anyway. It obviously did me no good.

Thanks, dubveeT4R. In addition to what you found, I dug a little deeper to try to eradicate the nuisance ticking. I took the cowling completely off and did some poking and prodding on everything that could possibly be loose/make noise. There's a wire harness that attaches to the opening above...

Well, after a few days of beloved silence, the ticking has come back with a vengeance. The tape is still in place, but I guess it didn't appreciate my attempts to thwart the noise and found some new places to speak up. Anyone have pics/info about what it takes to remove the cowling? I'm afraid...

Here are the areas I found making the most noise. If you poke and push around on the cowling you'll find places that creak and tick. It might not sound like much, but have someone else do it while you sit inside and you'll see how much it resonates. The fit and finish of the entire cowling –...

I can try - anyone know an easy way to do pics without having to upload them somewhere else first...? And that should have said the small section directly above the brake cylinder, not washer fluid canister.

Thank goodness for electrical tape (and this forum). The whole damn cowling is junk. I have a 2013 TE and after the dealer performed the TSB (despite "not being able to replicate the sound" and then blaming my roof rack), I finally started poking around after I read SRMT4R's note above. Grab...

Much more helpful. Thanks, guys. And sorry Stifler, your wife can have her nickname for you back.

Very clever. Thanks for being a$$holes. But there's this thing called a headliner between the my eyes and the roof that might result in water showing up somewhere else - like the floor board or the cargo area. Just thought someone who had experienced a leak might share where they first noticed...

I recently installed a Baja utility rack on my '13 TE, then put my black TE rails on my wife's '14 SR5. Based on the advice and instructions I found here, I used plenty of silicone around the bolts, etc. But since I'm paranoid about these types of things.. IF it were to leak, where would said...

Wheels are sold. Thanks.

Wheels are sold. Thanks.

Yes they are. 17x9. Private message if you want to discuss it more - I (obviously) check email more than the forum. Thanks.

Brand new 2013 with all lugs and valves - never left the lot. Willing to ship. Taking up space - make me an offer.
