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).

#1473 of 4687 Highlander "quirks" by dv8er Jul 14, 2004 (8:13 pm)
Hello Toyota owners!   I've recently looked at a new Toyota Highlander. Having never owned a Toyota (yet), I am curious as to the common repair "quirks" that are typical of the brand.   I currently have a 1996 Chevy Monte Carlo (which I hate, I might add) and am tired of poor craftsmanship and expensive minor and major repairs-not to mention crappy styling. I realize that no brand is immune from repair, but I would like to know some of the more common repairs to get a general idea for what I'm really up against.   I've also heard about the upcoming hybrid model, but my dealer claims they have no info. Does anyone know the expected price increase and what trim levels they will hybrid first?   If you would like, please contact me off-list at: shootvideoyahoo.com   Thanks in advance!

#1474 of 4687 rear wiper revisited by herzogtum71 Jul 16, 2004 (2:19 pm)
Back in March I mentioned that you couldn't pull up the rear wiper on my '04 Highlander more than an inch or so above the glass. We discovered that this was a change between '03 and '04.   A couple of days ago I discovered that there is a little plastic piece at the base of the wiper that covers the bolt that attaches the wiper to the vehicle. This plastic piece is easily removed. Once it is removed, the rear wiper will lock into place at a 45 degree angle off of the glass, just like the front wipers.   Knowing this will make it easier to replace the blade, but it's not something I'd want to do each time I clean the rear window at a gas station. I'm still puzzled about why Toyota would have made this change.
#1475 of 4687 it is possibly by wain Jul 17, 2004 (3:30 am)
a screw up by a vendor. is your HL US/Canada or Japan made? Mine is Japan - can pull the wiper off about 4 inches (but not at 45 degrees)
