My question is do the after-market window cover thingies actually help reduce this vibration noise? I've seen them on many a HH and have wanted to ask the drivers this question but haven't had the chance. I'd sure like to know before I drop a few bills on the 4 piece set.

weird problems - anyone else? by hydro4
Apr 10, 2008 (1:30 pm)

I have a 2007 HH with a little over 6K miles. Two problems have recently occurred and i would just like to know if they have happened to anyone else. 1) The little spring loaded flap on the fuel filler neck is missing and i think it has gotten lodged in the filler neck. When i try to fill the tank, its takes forever because the gas backs up in the line and shuts off the pump nozzle. Might this also be a safety hazard?
 
2) This problem is more mundane, but just as irritating. The radio will drift off of the station (The JBL set-up that came with the Limited trim). Most of the time it will tune itself back in, but not always. This happens when in motion and at a dead stop.
 
Anybody else have one of these problems?

That "flap" was used to prevent someone from fueling a non-lead car with leaded fuel. With no more leaded fuel available the flap became useless and was discarded for most designs years ago.
 
I find that to prevent premature fuel flow shutoff with my RX I must not insert the fuel dispensing nozzle fully into the filler pipe neck.
 
Are you by chance referring to the "picket-fence" effect, rapid loss and regain of the signal, common to mobile FM radio recievers..?

I just checked my 2004 Prius, with which I did have a fuel filling problem for the first time this winter, and my 2007 HH (no fueling problems).
Neither has the filler neck flap, just a hole for the nozzle. I do not remember if there was ever a flap on either.
I will inspect some other cars. If the Prius is supposed to have a flap, then that's the cause of my recent problem even thought the problem is now gone, the flap must be in there somewhere, and hard to get out.

Whistling sound in new '08 highlander hybrid by newsy2

My car has 1400 miles. Today I heard on and off a whistling noise coming from the back of the car. I was on a dirt road for a short period of time before the sound occured. I can't tell if it was related to the engine or something in the rear wipers or something else.
the sound did go away after a while. i'm not sure if it will stay away.
any thoughts?
thanks/

When our 2006 HH runs on full-electric mode (ICE off), it has a soft high pitch whirl/purr, almost could pass for a whistle. THat may be what you are hearing?
 
If you have the energy display, see if the sound returns when the car is in full electric mode.
