In my case the debris is pollen collecting on roof, mostly in Spring. Then a heavy rain comes and some gets into sunroof drain. The sunroof doesn't shed 100% of rain when closed, especially with my 14 year old seals it's probably worse than when new. My wife gets one side of Garage and the...

Thanks for the picture of end of drain tube, I couldn't pull mine out of sealant in frame. I also bottomed out the weed eater line, then resorted to air pressure. My drain hole was under water while I applied about 8psi from compressor. Then I heard a mild slushy pop and water and fine particles...

3M Kit 39084 My 2010 4Runner headlights have yellowed and I suspect have never been restored so this would be the first time in nine years, and mostly parked outside. I was going to try the Sylvania kit due to good reviews but Prime day deals turned my purchase to the 3m 39084 and 39173 kit...

Yes. Each tire/rim has a tpms sensor id specific to that sensor inside rim, when you swapped tires/rims your computer did not recognize the id code from the different rims causing the light to come on. Any one (tire shop) with a tpms scan tool can find the tpms id code and enter them into your...

Sorry to hear you broke a part, in the previous posts only the rubber cover was replaced from the outside due to rubber melting. If the switch was defective I could see getting into the door panel but I would try replacement from the outside first. Only 2 screws.

Toyotapartsdeal.com FYI Just adding a little fyi so you can learn from my mistake. I failed to read the return policy of Toyotapartsdeal.com and needed to request an RMA. The request was denied because each part I was returning was less than 8 dollars each, clearly posted in their return...

Thanks chitown616 for the photos and description, just replaced my driver side and doing the rest soon. Got it done quickly. I already had a set of plastic pry tools for working on interior and also applied masking tape on paint for a precaution. When I installed new part I applied some silicone...

Tacky Melting Hatch Release Cover Replaced my hatch switch cover that was melting away, I bought the 2010 Trail used and don't know what caused this cover to melt into goo. I bought the cover from Amazon previously mentioned and a Neiko screwdriver for close quarters. After removing two Philips...

Ravenol Follow Up I finally got around to putting Ravenol in my transfer case today and the 1 Liter container was perfect amount. I'm adding a few pics to show the clever idea they used with the bottle, unfortunately I had my own refill ideas by transferring the oil to my own container. I...

Ravenol MTF-3 After searching for the Castrol and Royal purple products, I chose to use the Ravenol MTf-3 synthetic 75w from Amazon at $14.90 liter. I couldn't find Castrol product mentioned above except in EBay/UK and not shipped to USA. The royal purple had a similar problem with shipping...

I have been researching this Transfer case Lube question for some time. I like the Ravenol idea and also checking into Royal Purple product. I'm inserting a link to Bob The oil Guy site, one of the bloggers has had the Toyota transfer gear 75w LF analyzed (new sample)...

I was wondering the same thing about complete change. I just pump out the reservoir and replace with new fluid, pretty easy to do with a Mity Vac. I'll be replacing with Dex III.
