There is more profit in it for the dealer if he sells low grade aftermarket leather upholstery vs ordering it from the factory.
Be leery, VERY LEERY...!!!
Thanks.

thanks!
That would deprive others of valuable information and defeat the purpose of a public Forum.

Your first request for email was a reply to Thompkins who was asking a question. He was not providing information. His questions were subsequently answered so any request for email is moot.
Your second request was to Mackabee who answered Thompkins question and, in his reply, stated that he had posted pictures in his carspace. Click on his name in the byline of any of his postings and you will find a link to his carspace.com page. Again, the request for email is superflous.
In either case, additional information related to those issues should be posted here for the benefit of those following the discussion rather than being exchanged in private email.

The dealer "installed" Katskin leather (a national brand) was a perfect match to the taupe interior of our vehicle and was high quality material. The installation was actually performed by a local leather shop and included the replacement of the fabric door panels with leather. The quality of the installation was very good. It was not as good as my factory installed leather on our 2008 Honda Accord which was excellent.
With the step tubes, she tries to step up and into the car. however the tubes are too high off the ground for her to step up on them. The dealer says they can't be lowered.
As a result she's back to the old technique but now she's hindered by the step tubes. They get in her way sliding out of the vehicle.
I've tried using them and my head is way over the roof of the vehicle when I step on the tube. To get into the vehicle I next place my right foot on the floor and crunch my body to swivel into the seat without banging my head. It's a lot easier without the step tubes.
Are we perhaps using them improperly ?
They're chromed stainless tubes and they look great on the vehicle but they seem to be functionally useless.
Bought a 2008 V6 Limited in august and experiencing vibrations and Drone noise since, Forst i tought is was the balancing of the tires but did not solve the problem after 3 balancing of the summer and winter tires...Than I found the TSB about the Drone and vibration problem even if my car as been produce after the VIN shown on the TSB...I'm waiting to see if Toyota Canada will change the 4WD assembly. I'll keep you posted. I'f you have any comments on that please RSVP.
Thanks,

Bike rack like this one: http://www.yakima.com/racks/bike-racks/product/8002433/holdup-(2-receivers-only).aspx
I test drove a RAV4 and really liked it, but the bike rack is a deal killer if it does not fit.
