thanks in advance!
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thanks
what i did for my van is i went to a fabric store and bought yards and yards of towel material cloth. draped it over the rear benches and it works great! cost me a little under C$100! doesnt look professional but it works and if u have tinted windows, no one can see them and criticize you!
the front seats, i used generic seat covers from the local parts shop. in our area, complete set of seat cover for sienna is over C$500!
works for me!
How about the behind-the-van type that goes on the tow thingy?
Thanks!

I'm curious where I can buy this mirror. I asked a few auto parts store nearby,
none has the mirror.
I cannot find any store here in MN that carry the Broadway angle mirror.
Do you know any store that can mail order this?
see my following posts

i tried to cut and paste but it won't let me coz of the limit on characters!
buy the ones that are wide angle convex BUT shows u a true image and short in lenght so that when u flip down your visor, you won't hit the mirror! the flat ones are no good coz it's the same as your OEM, you have blind spots. i use the wide angle convex type that gives a true image.
there are 2 types of curved convex, one of them doesnt give the true image (much like your right-side mirror). another type is curved convex but it gives u true image
many stores sell them online!
power mirrors are very expensive! i recently replaced my sisters driver side power heated mirror on her 1997 camry. the cost is C$350+, but we were able to get a discount so total price still came out to around C$280 (taxes included)!
take the door off???? that toyota rep must be on drugs! the most you have to take off is the inside panel of the door. you DON'T need to take off the whole door to get to the wiring!
buy the mirror and do it yourself and save the money. not that hard to do. it took me 30mins for my sisters camry. all you have to do with the wiring is unplug the old and plug in the new one. depending on the design, you probably dont even have to remove the inside panel - probably just loosen the screws.
i didnt have to remove the panel for the camry, loosen the screws, pry a little bit and thats it.
Problem solved, no diassembly of the door! He had the car for several years afterward with no problems. This may work on your Sienna. Best of luck.
i think that if you dont have painted bumpers, just buy the hood cover. what i also did for mine is i removed the whole front grill and bought a big piece of screen and installed it behind the grill to protect the radiator from bugs, rocks, etc. i think mine is a vinyl screen type of material. it's soft and flexible. it covers from the top and all the way down to the bottom. after i installed the screen, i re-install the grill.
works great in catching small rocks, bugs, etc and keeps your radiator clean and good!
If anyone has the factory toyota part number for the factory wiring harness I'd appreciate that as well, sounds like a more expensive but cleaner solution.
Thanks,
dfh.
Will it be the same one that fits the Camry??
Thanks
Another option is to buy all weather mats. I have the Weather Tech - quite expensive for all 3 areas (front, Back, 3rd seat). And the fit is not perfect, especially in the back and 3rd seat - had to cut them down. But they are the best all-weather mat I've ever seen.
Other Sienna owners I know just flip the mats over in Winter - not a lot of capacity though for snow, dirt and ice like the Weather Techs have.
The folks from McNeil actually just put the Weather Tech name on these mats which are made in England I believe. I bought mine through a discounter on the Internet.
meyerofrf - see my earlier posts on K & N for the full story but in a nutshell - it would be the 33-2145 IF it was available - it's being retooled due to fit and finish problems. No ETA! I'm bummed as are others.

i've cut them out and place them on top of the OEM carpet mats - on top of these are my rubber mats! so i have 3 layer of mats! it works really good in protecting your vehicle carpet and also keeps your OEM carpet mats clean and easier to vacuum. i do this for all my vehicles and by the time i sell my car, i have almost brand-new carpets and OEM carpet mats!
just a suggestion.
Oh Well - I put the effort in on the detailing and waxing side.
Seriously Jeprox - a great idea!
i always like to keep my carpets clean! i also try to wax at least twice a month during summer time.
i also have this bug screen at the front that covers the whole front (left to right) and sits behind the grill.
Look at their site:

While the guards were painted, the silver was a shade warmer than what's on the Van - not an issue for me but it might be for others.
Installation was a snap, took about 1 hour with a little drill time included.
Got them from Metro Toyota parts out of BC in western Canada.
Hopefully will keep dirt off the rear window and out of the sliding door rollers.

u can use the risky method - use a razor blade and slice it between emblem and adhesive. i used this method before BUT u have to do it with extreme caution or you will end up with a big scratch.
Is there still an issue with this model?
Thanks
The Sienna comes with 2 key fobs for remote access, including the sliding doors. I can open mine from inside the house. Makes loading the laptop and lunchbag a lot easier, for both me (divers side) and the wife (passenger side).
I doubt that you could ad a keypad without installing an aftermarket alarm system that integrates into the factory electronics. I would be hesitant to do that, even if the installers assure you they can. Messing with the electronics in new cars can be a reason to void a warranty.
if you want to have this on the sienna, it can be done with aftermarket systems but it would mean cutting a square hole on your door to fit the keypad! do u realy wanna do this on your new sienna?!?!
you can install aftermarket systems that will actually pop your door open with one press of your remote. most of my friends have this installed for their car doors/trunks.
The kids also can get into the car without us having to give them the keys - for example when they forget something at the ball fields. We use this option constantly.
Does anyone know what aftermarket place would do this?
Still, gonna be tough finding one to install. Try contacting the Specialty Equipment Market Association. Maybe they can point you to someone.
