Replying to: practical (May 16, 2007 6:20 pm) Can you tell me if this was a "Toyota" accessory or and aftermarket? If you did this can you share your thoughts on workmanship, functionality, etc.? Thanks, metmdx.
#663 of 691 Removing Scratches by nelpot1 Aug 24, 2007 (4:47 am)
Can anyone recommend the best way to remove scratches. I just baught my 07 Sienna and someone already put scratches by the door. I've been thinking about using touchup paint but don't think that would blend in well with the existing paint.   Thanks Replies to this message: caravan2 (Aug 24, 2007 9:12 am)

Replying to: nelpot1 (Aug 24, 2007 4:47 am) Sorry to hear that... I feel your pain ...   I have been thinking about the same as well.... I was at walmart and they're selling different brands of "Scratch X". It claims it will remove small scratches...   Do let us know if your experience if you do something with the scratch.
#665 of 691 Fish Eye Lens by ateixeira Aug 27, 2007 (10:45 am)
So I didn't feel like splicing in to the wiring to install a backup camera or an audible backup sensor, so I went with the fish eye lens instead.   I had to special order it from the local auto parts store, they called it a "blind spot lens". I got an 8"x10" sized one.   Install was easy, just clean the window, then sprayed water on both the lens and the glass. I peeled the top half and rolled it out towards the top, then did the same for the bottom. That got most of the air bubbles out. The rest I just pushed out with my thumb.   How does it work?   It does help. A car disappears in the rear window, yet I can still several feet in front of that car with the lens.   I could be better though. I think it's glare, but the bottom 1/3rd of the lens is useless, and reflects the sky. So you can't see your bumper, or even close.   I did some tests with a chair, and I could see a chair a couple of feet away from the bumper with the lens. Without it you're hopeless, you pretty much don't see the chair at all.   So this is useful if your expectations are reasonable, and at just $14 worth it for sure.   I may experiment with changing the location to see if I can reduce the glare. Maybe even mount it portrait (it's landscape now). Replies to this message: nelpot1 (Aug 30, 2007 6:33 am) ateixeira (Aug 30, 2007 9:50 am) ateixeira (Oct 01, 2007 7:55 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 27, 2007 10:45 am) I was looking at something similar. Where does the lens attach (inside or outside). I was under the impression that it would be inside and may damage the heat tracing for the rear defrost. What model did you get?

Replying to: nelpot1 (Aug 30, 2007 6:33 am) Inside.   There's no glue or tape to hold it on. It's very light and basically holds on with, I dunno, static or suction? Peels right off easily.   I moved it because I noticed the wiper was blocking part of the view (originally it was on the passenger side). So now it is slightly more on the driver's side.   No damage to the rear defrost at all. It's just water between them, which probably just evaporated.   Not sure about the brand. I did a special order from Advanced Auto Parts. It was $13.xx delivered, no extra for shipping since they sent it to the store.   It's very, very simple, just a plastic sheet with concentric circles that create the fish-eye effect.

#668 of 691 Laser cruise control and fog lamps by caravan2 Sep 28, 2007 (7:10 pm)
Has anyone tried to installed fog lamps and replace regular control with laser cruise control?   And how difficult and expensive is it?   Thanks,

Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 30, 2007 9:50 am) Update: I repositioned it a couple of time, but it's working better than expected. Transparency improved after it dried out, which took about 24 hours.   It is a HUGE aid in backing up. I can see kids standing pretty much right behind the van. Strongly recommended if you don't have audio or video backup aids.
#670 of 691 Anyone have experience with floor liners? by awindram Oct 29, 2007 (7:57 am)
I was at Weathertech's website to buy all weather mats for my 07 Limited when I stumbled upon the floor liner which says it completely covers the carpet. Does anyone have this floor liner and what is your opinion of it? Did you just take out the carpeted mats and only use the liner? Any change in road noise?
#671 of 691 Can the drop down cup hold be intalled in the second row? by awindram Nov 09, 2007 (7:41 am)
Does anyone know if the drop down cup holder in the front row can be installed in the second row? I'd really love for there to be a couple of cup holders within reach of the kiddos, but dont want to put the big console in the back blocking the isle.
