Replying to: chadhburke (Apr 11, 2001 7:37 pm) chadhburke - you are exactly right. I fixed my 2001 HL (finally). There are two metal slats along the edges of the windshield next to the pillars. There is a gap or channel between the slats (mine are black strips of metal) and the windshield itself that you can stick the end of a phillips head screwdriver (or a pencil) into, Wind catches this channel and causes the whistle. Enter Lowes! I bought a bag of foam rope. It's called Backer Rod and is found in the weatherstripping section. About $4 for 20 ft. Get the 1/2" size. # 71480. It worked great. Just force it into the gap between the windshield and the molding strip. It will stay there on its own. Wala - whistle gone!

Replying to: steve159 (Oct 20, 2007 7:24 am) Has the solution that you posted, PCV valve replacement, still been working for you? Or have you had to do anything else since you last posted your message in Oct. of 2007? I have a 2002 highlander that is consuming oil only at highway speeds. Approximately 2 quarts every 250 miles at rpm's of 3000 and approximately 75 mph. It does not do this with city driving. Thanks.

Replying to: steves_toyo (Jun 02, 2009 5:10 pm) I have since switched to synthetic oil. I checked the oil this morning with about 5000 miles of a good mix of highway and city driving and I am down less than half a quart, which I think is great for a vehicle at 55,000 miles. No service since the PCV replacement!

Replying to: steves_toyo (Jun 02, 2009 5:10 pm) Replacing the PCV did not fix my oil consumption problem at highway speeds. It still consumed a lot of oil when I drove 70 mph over a period of time. I had no problems with city driving or short highway trips.   I did have to have some valve covers replaced and cleaned. I would have to relook at my paperwork to see what they actually did. I took it on a short trip and didn't notice any problems after that.   During my test drives I drove from Minneapolis to Des Moines and back. I have not driven it down there in the last year or so to check on oil consumption.   Hope this helps you. Replies to this message: steves_toyo (Jun 04, 2009 10:16 pm)

Replying to: loadlor (Jun 04, 2009 1:52 pm) Thanks for the feedback. The work that you had done, valve covers replaced, etc., was that done under warranty or under that class action settlement that Toyota has for oil sludge? And if so, did you have to produce all your oil change records before they would do the work? Thanks!
#10931 of 10939 vehicle stability warning light by ricdob Sep 22, 2009 (6:51 pm)
I have a 01 V6, 55000 miles. Through the forum, I learned that I needed an O2 sensor when the VSC and Engine light went on. Engine light went off, but VSC still on. I know I can do without VSC, but if the repair was reasonable, I'd like to have the work done. Anyone know what the warning light entails?   thanks
#10932 of 10939 window resonance by ryan99 Sep 27, 2009 (2:34 pm)
Hi all, My wife and I just traded in our 200k camry for an 04 Highlander. We love the vehicle but are shocked at the resonance with 1 or 2 rear windows down or the moonroof open. We have kids in the back so it can be a problem. Has anyone tried to rectify it with rain gaurds on the windows or sunroof? if so how were the results? Thanks in advance, Ryan Replies to this message: grahampeters (Sep 27, 2009 2:58 pm) phrosut (Sep 28, 2009 11:02 am) lmacmil (Sep 28, 2009 1:56 pm) ryan99 (Sep 28, 2009 4:46 pm) phrosut (Sep 29, 2009 8:20 am) and 1 more...
