Just picked up my new 2008 RAV-4 (V6 4x4 Limited) and I'd like to get an auto-dimming mirror with Homelink (the compass/temperature feature is a plus, but not important). I've got a moonroof and side curtain airbags. The dealer quoted me about $500 (parts & labor). I don't want to install this myself, but the price seems really high to me when I see mirrors like the one I want on E-Bay for around $200 (can't believe the labor's that intensive). First, can anyone tell me if the dealers use an OEM part that I should be specifically looking for, or are they buying a Gentex or other aftermarket part? Second, what part is best for my vehicle and what can I expect to pay for parts and labor? (I live in a suburb of Chicago.) Any help appreciated! |

Hi Does anyone know where I can get some reasonably priced retractable (or not) cargo covers for my 2005 RAV4? We bought a used one last week and it did'nt come with one. The Toyota dealership says it sould cost about $725/- to get them ordered. Thanks PV |

Anyone know where i can purchase these at a decent price? The dealers prices are ridiculous..the side step bars are almost 600 bucks including installation. Anyone know where i can get the fender flares?? |

Replying to: dndentp (Aug 26, 2008 6:38 am) Note, my '08 Rav sport does not have a moonroof which caused me the issues. Rav models without a moonroof do not have ignition +12V available in the roof area; so I had to route a wire from the fuse box up thru the pillar, thru the headliner and to the mirror. Time consuming! Moon/sun roofs in texas are way too hot!

| I can find no information about the HomeLink icons being lighted or not. I have the mirror in my Scio tC and without lighted icons it is nearly impossible to use in the dark. | |
