I always try to obtain a convex mirror for the driver's side and that helps. Often, actually almost always, I must resort to a UK dealer's online parts department.
 
In general the UK passenger side, OUR driver's side, have even better convex aspects they ours.

I fully understand your frustration. From your post it sounds like you have partial opening on your sunroof right now? If you can have someone close it properly for $ 300 or
so, I think it's worth it. Especially if you are planning to
use your vehicle for next few years, with an opening like that it can damage your interior from moisture, rain, etc..
 
I know all about not so great experience with Toyota USA.
My problem was fuel injection related and missed warranty
by just few hundred miles. Of course, they didn't want to
pay for it. I was very diligent and was able to recover half
of repair cost from Toyota.
 
Many new vehicle nowdays, not just Toyota are so complicated with electronics,NAV, Rearview camera etc..As long as it's reasonable it might not be a bad idea to buy
extended warranty.
 
good luck

Thanks for the advice and concern. The sunroof is closed as much as possible without doing the full $1500 repair. There is only a small gap, so the duct tape does the trick. I am having fun changing the duct tape color as it wears out. I have a white car, so anything goes. I view it as "accessorizing " my car, and it also helps advertise the issue and provokes questions about "how do you like your Highlander?.' I am doing my part of representing Toyota as they wish to be viewed. -ha ha.
But I am still open to any suggestions for a more efficient solution.

Have you tried getting a quote from a non-dealer?

Yes. No one wants to touch the thing. Its difficult to get to the motor. But thank you for the suggestion.

Where is the compass on Nav equipped HH? by mmccloskey

I have a 2007 HH Limited w/Nav. The compass is usually located in the rear view mirror except for those models w/nav. I have looked through the nav manual but see no reference to the compass. There must be one somewhere as it is required to guide you to your destination. The only visual reference to direction is the little 'N' icon which I assume is North. My car is parked in the driveway and pointing West so this 'N' (North?) may not be correct.
 
Any assistance from those with Nav would be greatly appreciated.

Wouldn't it be easier just to pick up the phone and ask the dealer? Most of us don't have NAV.

I was under the impression that these forums were for those seeking (and sharing) info about their vehicles from other owners. Contacting the dealer is an option but not always the most effective.
 
My question was directed to those that have navigation and might be able to help, not those who don't and can't.

You have a couple of ways to do it. The N symbol is a North Up map orientation. Press it and it turns into a compass needle which is a Heading Up orientation.
The second way is done by using the icon above the (+) (Zoom in). One of the modes is a pure compass/GPS mode.

Thanks so much for your very helpful information. I will give this a try on my next outing. I don't use the Nav to map directions that often but consider the compass feature (now that I know how to access it) essential.
