I kind of admire people brave enough to keep a battery until it completely quits. Batteries are so cheap, I just get a new one for my car every 3 years. It would seem to be $80 well spent -- less than $30 a year to be (almost) sure my car will start when I want it to.

Yes, my hl has wind deflectors and it does not correct the problem, not in the least! The only solution is to roll down the front windows. The further you roll down the front windows, the better it gets. This is obviously a design flaw with this vehicle. Toyota should look into the possibility of creating some sort of vent system in the back cargo area to allow the cabin pressure to escape. Sorry I couldn't help any further.

Better late than never. And anyone Googling the issue will find a handy answer. So thanks, BP!

For my '01 F/awd RX300 it wasn't really a problem until Oxford came along. Oxford is our dog who insists on having his head hanging out the rear window. I added two louvered vents from a Toyota Sequoia in the left and right rear quarter panel area.

Good name, although with my Southern upbringing, I'd probably nickname him Oxpatch.

Next we'll be talking about Britling's Cafeteria next to Goldsmith's. Happy Birthday Elvis.
I don't guess they make too many pink Highlanders.
If anyone knows how to sync phones in a Highlander, there's an old Question in Edmunds Answers that needs putting to bed.

Not unless Mary Kay used Highlanders for the tax write off.
