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

Anyone know where i can get the fender flares??
FYI... I put a Gentex autodim w/compass & temporature on my 05 Hyundai Tuscan. Fairly easy, but since the RAV is new I'm being more cautious.
Note it only has a compass feature.
regards,
This installation method works on sunroof 08's too.

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! :shades:
I got a 2008 RAV-4 about a month ago. It does not have an alarm that goes off if you leave your headlights on when disembarking the vehicle. I am known to have discharged my battery on the older car a couple of times as I forgot to turn off the lights. I would like to treat the new RAV4 a little different.
What do people suggest to remedy this:
1) Is it possible to get that alarm installed? I think it should be an electrical thing so should be doable but not sure.
2)should I check with dealer on price and istallation or are there other websites/local mechanics that would do it for cheaper?
3) If I did get it from someone else and something got screwed due to workmanship of installation, would that nullify my factory warranty on related covered parts?
Thanks for the input.
My 2008 RAV4 Limited got hit when some idiot ran a red light. Several people have told my that silver cars are harder to see in some circumstances. Since then, I have been driving with the headlights on even during the day. I never turn them off, since they turn themselves off. One less thing to worry about.
P.S. if you turn your headlights on without the ignition being on, they will NOT turn themselves off. The auto-off feature only works if they were on while the ignition was on.
Sorry to hear about the idiot running the red light and smashing your RAV. We have a lot of those in this city as well so we have to be extra careful and may be also start using headlights in the day too.
Thanks again,
