#2099 of 5279 Bungee solution by docbuckeye Feb 29, 2004 (3:15 pm)
Anyone notice the 2003 Camry trunk interior is so well trimmed and padded that there is no exposed metal or hole to hook a bungee cord onto to hold the trunk lid down if you're hauling something big? Here's a solution...   The padding on the interior of the trunk lid is held in place with small black plastic rivets. They can be easily removed with a phillips screw driver (twist the inner circle while holding the outside edge). Remove one on each side. In it's place, screw in a 5/16" eye bolt, about 1-3 inches in length. The hole is the perfect size to grab the bolt threads, no additional nuts needed. Use an eye BOLT, not screw eye.   Not sure just how much force the bolts can withstand, but certainly enough to hold the lid down. Too bad Toyota didn't incorporate something initially.
#2100 of 5279 How about Canoe solution by cam2003 Mar 01, 2004 (1:03 pm)
There is nothing at front Camry to tie down the canoe. Any suggestion ?

YES. I NOTICED THIS IN HOME DEPOT AFTER PACKING MY TRUNK FULL! I like your solution. Here's another. By one of those foam pipe insulation wraps. These are the ones sold in 4 foot long sections that are meant to insulate your housepipes from the cold. They are split down the side. Whenever I need to tie down my truck, I slip one of these along the bottom edge of the truck so it does not get chipped up. It usually stays in place and if it were to fall off it would not damage any other vehicle and you would only be out .79 or so.

to andrelaplume:   thanks for the advice. will consider. lemon law requires that I pay for the use of the vehicle to date. that would mean a 6000 thousand dollar shortfall for me. is there a technical solution that you or anyone else may know of? thanks for your responses. nick

#2107 of 5279 02 Steering wheel squeel by buster6 Mar 03, 2004 (9:21 pm)
Hi everyone, I have an 02 SE V6, I have enjoyed 70k pretty trouble free miles. I have one problem that comes and goes. The steering wheel squeaks as I am turning it. I asked the service advisor about it, his comment was:   Just spray some wd40 in it to see if it clears it up, which I liked the idea of, but as soon as he ran to get some, the shop supervisor came out and said that it was a bad idea, it might mess something up badly--so bring it in on another day when we can take it apart and look at it.   The thing that really bothers me is that the car was recalled for a drivers side air bag problem, so they replaced it (no noise prior to the replacement--and the techs taking the steering wheel apart). Now the car is way out of warranty, and I am tempted to just spray the wd40 myself. Any thoughts if it will mess anything up in there?   Anyone else experienced this?   Thanks Replies to this message: foggy (Dec 15, 2004 12:58 pm) joescar (Dec 15, 2004 4:26 pm) lemebth1 (Dec 19, 2004 10:19 pm)
#2108 of 5279 Squeeking Wheel by andrelaplume Mar 03, 2004 (10:04 pm)
Just had my 02 fixed a week ago. It would do this in the very cold weather. When I was in for my oil change I mentioned it and they new exactly what was wrong right away. Evedently it is common enough that there is a TSB. My invoice noted: Tech lubed steering shaft per TSB. Mine was under warranty. Ask your dealer to pull the TSB and ask then what it would cost you...assuming you have no extended warranty. If it is expensive get Toyota on the phone....no reason it should do this irregardless of the miles.
