    Plush Seat Covers or salvage Navigator seats???

    So....My wife has always had scoliosis. However, she recently had to go through 8 surgeries in her abdomen as well. After all this my wife's back and sides are very sensitive. So sensitive that she cannot ride in our RAV4 any longer. So we are giving that away to our son to take when he...

    How to replace front grille emblem?

    Never mind. I got ahold of a dealer who was able to look up the part number based on my VIN. It seems like they used many different grilles and many different emblems in 2010 alone. Probably would not have found the part number without the VIN lookup. Just for others future reference. If...

    Bikes and/or Kayaks on the roof???

    According to my computer, I averaged 13.1 with Interstate driving. I was pretty pleased. The North half of Indiana is pretty flat, but the southern part can get hilly. Although we do have some 4 lane highways, most of our regular highways are 2 lane roads that stop at every little town over...

    Bikes and/or Kayaks on the roof???

    It pulls nice at slower highway speeds 55-60mph. But I can tell a difference between the travel trailer and the popup at Interstate speeds 70-75mph. It catches more air at those speeds. In tow mode, my Expy spent almost all of it's time in 5th gear while on the interstate. It could tow the...

    Bikes and/or Kayaks on the roof???

    Update for everyone..... We ended up getting a new to us 18 foot travel trailer camper. It is a 2018 model, but was only used 4 times. And we got it for 1/2 the price of new. It is MUCH easier to setup. The popup had all the options, so it generally took 1 1/2 - 2 hours to setup. This...

    How to replace front grille emblem?

    Does anyone happen to know what the part number is for the front emblem listed above? My 2010 has the same size, but most websites I have gone to want to sell me a 7 inch for my 2010. I guess I need to search for a specific part number.

    Middle Headrest Won't Fold

    The headrest in the middle row of my 2010 Eddie Bauer Expy no longer folds. It is stuck in the up position. This is not a problem for normal use, but it won't allow the seat to roll up as far for those getting into the 3rd row and it doesn't allow the seat to go to cargo mode. FYI. The strap...

    Bikes and/or Kayaks on the roof???

    I also wanted to add.....in a conversation with my wife this morning I found out that she wants us to eventually buy some kayaks to take camping. I was pleasantly surprised as I didn't think she cared for Kayaking. Apparently she liked it more than she let on. I am now wondering if a roof...

    Bikes and/or Kayaks on the roof???

    I had saw that option on some other forums. However, I have read that often the bikes get in the way of the headlights. Also, I read that there are some states that now have declared front mounted bike racks as illegal. I guess it had to do with accidents where the bikes and rack itself hit a...

    Bikes and/or Kayaks on the roof???

    Sooooo... One of the purposes for buying our 2010 Expy last year was to tow our 12 foot pop up camper. This camper has about every single option a popup can have....Air Conditioning, Pressurized water system, 3 way fridge, furnace, water heater, bathroom, shower, bump out on the side in...

    Pulls right when braking

    I purchased AC Delco Professional hoses. I have been using AC Delco Professional parts for many years on many vehicles. They are not cheap. Most AC Delco Professional parts I buy are better than the OEM parts. The few that were not better than OEM parts were just as good as OEM. Just...

    Pulls right when braking

    Ummmmmm.....I guess you have been less than dry yourself. How did Shakespeare say it? (In my best drunken theater actor voice) Doth my adult beverages overflow my cup! (hiccup added at end for emphasis)

    Pulls right when braking

    When we installed the new pads the pistons were easy to get seated all the way in. There are no leaks and best as we can tell, it looks like both pistons on the drivers front caliper are actuating together. I got the truck in the air and with some help I inspected the entire front and rear...

    Pulls right when braking

    Nope...no leaks. Matter of fact, even with this age and mileage, the engine, transfer case, transmission and differentials are complete dry and oil/dirt free on the outside. But not so clean that it appears the entire underside was pressure washed.

    2012 Rear Window Leak

    I forgot to update everyone. I tried the fix listed in this video. I got my black surgical tubing from Amazon. I think 20 feet was $12. I works perfectly. I will admit, the window closed hard for the first week or so after installation. But now after using the window several times and...

    Pulls right when braking

    Thanks all for your input! For my own curiosity I am going to get it up in the air and check out the suspension just to be safe with the mileage I have. I suspect it will all look fine. If it does, I will order hoses for both sides. If one has gone bad, the other probably is not to far...

    Pulls right when braking

    I forgot to add.... The pull is ONLY while braking. When diving down the highway, I can let go of the steering wheel for quite some time on a strait road with no pull. So if something is loose, it can't be horribly bad. So is the consensus that my pull is from something wonky on the brakes...

    Pulls right when braking

    Yes, it feels like it is worse when I first start braking. Yes, we polished the pins and installed them with some Permatex Ceramic Extreme brake grease. We did bleed all 4 calipers when compressing the pistons to prevent back flow of debris. We then bled them again after reinstallation to...

    Pulls right when braking

    We bought a 2010 Eddie Bauer standard length Expy last year. It had 188,000 when we got it, but was well taken care of. The engine, transmission, transfer case, differentials, interior and body all seem to be in wonderful condition. However, when I brake...especially when pulling our 3,500 lb...

    And could you share that? Not seen that one.

    2012 Rear Window Leak

    Bought a 2010 Eddie Bauer 6 months ago and we are having the same problem. It was worse and I cleaned both the seal and the glass. It still does it pretty much under where the 3rd brake light is...about 6-8 inch section right in the top middle. I inspected the seal for cracks, tears or...

    Intermittent wipers working weirdly.....

    Finally drove through a storm last week where the rain veried and confirmed that the wipers work as normal now with that box unplugged. Thanks for the help!

    Intermittent wipers working weirdly.....

    There is a black box to the right of the mirror. It has 2 wires in one plug and I unplugged it. I always assumed it was for the satellite radio. But now that I think about it, the satellite radio is probably the antenna nub on the roof on the front passenger side. As best as I can tell...
