#1464 of 4696 '04 Moonroof Switch by 02hl Jul 12, 2004 (8:05 pm)
I have an 02 LTD FWD and looking to upgrade to an 04 LTD AWD. The moonroof switch has changed. My 02 has a one-touch open/close/tilt. The 04's have a manual (hold the button down) switch that is very confusing to determine if it's fully closed or partially cracked open. Holding the button to close too long would go directly to tilt without stopping. Am I using this wrong? Does anyone else see this a a huge annoyance? If it weren't for this one thing, I would definitely be trading for one. I'm hoping there's something simple about that I (or the salesmen) don't know.   Thanks!

Replying to: 02hl (Jul 12, 2004 8:05 pm) There was an earlier discussion of this problem. If you (and the dealer) check the owner's manual, you'll find instructions for initializing the moonroof to set the one-touch open and close. Apparantly Toyota hasn't done a very good job of informing its dealers, because neither my dealer nor the mechanics knew about this! I just traded an 01 for an 04 and love it!

Replying to: 02hl (Jul 12, 2004 8:05 pm) See P. 34 of the 2004 owner's manual and follow instructions to initialize moonroof as if the battery has been disconnected. Indeed, and of course, the moonroof should operate with "one-touch" operation. My dealer didn't know about this either. There is obviously a lapse in communication or vehicle prep for something so important, but easily fixed, once you know how. I've read about the same issue for the Lexus RX 330 as well.   Now that we've removed your final excuse, go for the trade! We love our '04 as well, now 9 months in to it, no problems.

Replying to: 02hl (Jul 12, 2004 8:05 pm) I myself am completely happy with my '01 LTD and wouldn't dream of trading it so soon for another HL -- stick with the '01 - '03 'classic' model line and save yourself a bundle!

Replying to: desertguy (Jul 13, 2004 2:23 pm) Yea. Classic!! As in rock-and-roll, apple pie and the '57 Chevy!   Some members on this board may not be aware that, although the Highlander was introduced in 2001, there was a minor redesign commencing with the '04 model year. The changes of course were few, consisting of subtle enhancements to the exterior body panels and some interior trim color differences. If you're an '04 owner, don't worry that these changes were merely cosmetic and solely implemented by Toyota to attract new customers to the Highlander and increase its sales. Revel in your purchase; hold your head high on the freeway, and enjoy your brief elation with your presumed superior vehicle. We 'classic' owners will quietly take pride in the distinction of knowing that we own an 'original.' Replies to this message: akat2000 (Jul 14, 2004 3:56 pm) jbollt (Jul 14, 2004 5:08 pm)

Replying to: landdriver (Jul 14, 2004 2:08 pm) "subtle enhancements to the exterior body panels and some interior trim color differences"? Are you intentionally ignoring the only change that is worth mentioning, 3.0L to 3.3L V6? That is quite a difference (and I am not talking about the minimal change in hp).
