Replying to: steve_ (Aug 23, 2008 9:28 pm) 1990 Toyota wagon but it doesn't feel so great to buy a beautiful new car and start immediately hacking it. I've since realized a few things: 1) the 2008 car has two plastic pop-off things that have bolt holes under them. Apparently those had eye-bolts which were used as tie downs when the car was on the ship over from Japan. The dealer says that he can get us the bolts. But the plastic things will only survive being removed and replaced about a dozen times I would guess. Anyone tried these as tie downs? 2) I've seen a recent model RAV4 that has the front tie downs so this unfortunate change must have been made very recently (same body type from what I can see but it was a limited rather than a basic). I can't buy a car with the moon roof because of the reduction in ceiling height so that limits me to the basic I believe (if I'm wrong there, I'd very much like to know!). 3) the Honda CRV has the tie downs so that's pushing me in that direction even though I like various things about the RAV4 better. If any RAV4 lovers want to provide further input, that would be great. Thanks! |

I have lost my passenger side rear plastic gloss black cap that you have talked about on your post. Do you know if this is a Toyota brand or is this a 3rd party roof rack? If so who makes this rack. i would love to get the replacement part. Do you recommend going to Toyota? Thanks Ted
