For those that are interested in making your own cabin air filters, I was down at the local Lowes and found that they had boxes of Filtrete air filters on sale for $0.50 (marked down from $20.00, $18.00 and $12.00). Not sure if this was a local store clearance, but if you have a local Lowes, it...

Eric, I believe that I need to also replace this, but not sure how difficult it would be. Typically the hardest part is figuring out the path of the belt and the second hardest is getting the belt back on. :) Thanks, Tom

Sorry, but I asked this one a while back somewhere in this thread. I don't believe they have aftermarket clear lenses that would fit these bumper lenses. When I baked mine in the over to get the lens off, the lens is a sold translucent piece of red plastic. I was hoping that there would just...

Update So far, so good. The alignment seems to be holding up and the moonroof still seems to be closing properly. It's hard to tell if it's leaking, but at least it's in proper position now. Even if it did leak (now or before), it appears that there are water channels that will funnel the...

Issue Resolved Well, I had some time to work on the moonroof on Friday and I believe that the issue is resolved. I ended up following TSB BO016-06 (Moonroof Stuck/Improper Operation). I dont' have a link handy, but it is posted in another thread. I removed the gear assembly (located above...

Uneek, If you think about it, power windows actually have a stop when they're fully closed, so I would assume that they *could* actually be smart enough to know when it's closed. When the motor finally seats the window, the motor will be struggling to continue pushing it upwards even though...

Thanks BullDawg, I see exactly what you saying and it seems to make sense so you're not completely out of your lane. However, I don't see how a limit switch could be used because of the nature of the moonroof. There is no actual stop that is used to designate when it is fully closed. If...

Ok, After looking at it, I think I know what happened. A while back, I tried opening it and heard a grinding and what now I believe to be the gears skipping. Not sure why, but that's a tangent. If the gears were to skip, it would confuse the computer/motor on what the *real* closed position...

Thanks guys for checking for me. You told me exactly what I didn't want to hear. I have ran it though a couple full cycles trying to normalize it, but it didn't seem to work. I guess I'll have to just quickly hit the button until it's flush until I get around to really looking into it and...

Thanks guys for you help. I'll have to try this procedure and see if it works out. It does seem like the stops are not adjusted correctly or came out of adjustment. It works fine, just doesn't seem to stop where it should. I would assume that there are some manual adjustments, but not...

Thanks John for the suggestion. However, I tried that with no luck. The sunroof still appears to be sagging in the rear. I would like to know if this is how it should be or if there is a problem. If you have a moonroof, could you check it out on yours in the next couple of days. I may be...

Hi all, Ok, before all the flaming begins, I've searched and searched and couldn't find the exact issue that I was experiencing. Anyhow, after cleaning the 4Runner the other day, I noticed that the moonroof didn't appear to be closing all the way. The rear side of the moonroof is sitting...

Ok, I have searched and searched through these forums and the internet and cannot seem to find the answer to this question. Knowing that the SE comes with larger rotors than the SR5, does this also mean that the brake pads are different sizes as well? Initially I would believe that the...

Wai, Have we verifed that this part number is the correct number for the front brake pads? Thanks, Tom

Same deal here. I just noticed that my passenger DRL/turn assembly is fogged up. It will eventually evaporate, but tends to fog up again. Time to see the dealer. Tom
