Anyone know where I can get an end cap for the roof rack on a 2007 4Runner? It's the plastic piece on the end that covers the hardware that connects the rack to the roof. The rear passenger cap fell off when I was driving and the dealer said the part alone was $90! I'm trying to find it for cheaper. Any suggestions?

I got the SportEdition with the tubular rack, and that end caps (front and rear) only costed me $35, for $90 that's a ripoff, check other stealership around your area.

They are expensive, period; and ridiculously so but...
Look at the various mail order places. try Toyotapartszone.com and others like it.
Then: when you finally piss and moan enough and pay the price anyway, use some black electrical tape around the front and sides so that wind and (car wash) water can't get under them and lift them off your truck. the tape needs to cover the rubber pad the covers sit on and onto the covers. If you do it right, it disappears and you don't even notice you've done this. (assuming you have the black end caps and not the silver ones)
