Yakima Skybox Fit For those who may be considering a Yakima cargo box, go with the Skybox 18. I installed a Skybox 16S because Skybox 18 is too long for my wife's hatchback. As you can see in the attached image, Skybox 16s looks a bit short on the roof. I tried 18 at my local REI and it looked...

Opening moonroof with a cargo box installed on the new OEM rack I installed the new OEM rack with a Yakima box (16S) on my 2007 touring. As you can see in the attached image, The moonroof touches the bottom of the box when it is completely opened. I don't suggest you to slide open it while...

I also found three of them are missing. I just dropped by Kragen Auto Parts and bought some of these generic fasteners that fit 3/8" hole. They are not screw-on type but fit very well. No problem so far. Anyway, I paid 5 bucks for two sets ($1.25/fasteners), which may be by no means cheaper...

So it seems that very few have installed Rola Roof Rack. Then the remaining option is either INNO IN-XR or Thule 460 Podium. Thule is a bit pricey and comes with 50-inch crossbars. Any suggestions?

Autoanything charges tax in California. ORS Racks Direct gives best price for INNO rack at $220.

It is sold at $221 at etailer.com

2007 Owners, it's time to change your filter I just replaced the cabin air filter in my 2007 TG, 37,500 miles. Attached is the picture of the old cabin filter. New filter set costs $10.07 delivered off from ebay. It was really tricky to remove one top screw. You may need to be prepared to...

My wife's chevy has Kumhos (not Ecsta LX Premium though). They are NOT cheap tires but as expensive as Continental, as you may know. I just confirmed that they are made in Korea. The basic difference is that Kumho Ecsta LX Premium is a grand touring tire while Continental Extremecontact DWS is a...

I also replaced my OEM Toyos, which have completely worn out at 37,000, with a set of 4 Continental ExtremeContact DWS. It cost $480 (tires at Tirerack.com), $46 (shipping) and $86 (installation at a local tire shop). There is a TomTom portable GPS rebate from Continental Tires, just as a bonus...
