What all have you already tried?

I'd use a solution of 1 part Woolite to 5 parts water.

I just use the aerosol based upholstery cleaners. Do you apply the woolite solution with a cloth or brush?

How to remove?

"How to clean the cloth speaker covers without removing from the door"

To All,

The door cloth speaker covers on my '98 are dirty. I tried the usual remedies to improve the appearance but to no avail.

Any recommendations out there?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info, SK!

When washing my es, I discovered a hood ding with minute amounts of rust around the edge. The ding is very small. In fact, smaller than the head of a pin. What is the best course of action? I would prefer to not repaint the hood.

Thanks

Anybody installed a GPS in their car?

I installed my Magellan RM 700 with a pro-clip above the stock radio.

My mechanic replaced the plastic spring clip for about $15. Part was ordered and I stopped by and he replaced it in about 10 minutes. Wasn't really a problem at all.

Does the '98 model have daytime driving lights? Meaning the low beams are on without the parking or license lights on?

I've seen a couple of '98s with this feature but cannot replicate in my car. I checked the drivers manual and it says no.

thanks for your response.

Sorry for the brief details. I was hoping that someone had the silver bullet for this.

Sounds come from the right side dash. I rode as passenger and attempted to isolate the ususal suspects: glove compartment door, contact points between dashboard interfaces, contact points between vinyl and plastic, radio support point. I used paper to minimize the friction between the above areas. All to no avail.

I'm afraid the problem might lie in a loose wiring harness inside the dash. In that case, the cure is worse than the disease.

Thanks for any help!

I searched the forums and found nothing to help me out. It's not the ashtray.

any help out there???

Thanks guys for your help. I managed to locate the missing key after all. My problem was that the wheel locks were on the wheels and if I had a flat, it would look very baaad for me.

I checked the glove compartment and did not find any key code card. I would like to get an extra key "just in case" but not sure how to.

Where can I replace the key for the wheel locks on my wheels? Is the dealer the only option (and then pay mucho $$)?

thanks for the assist

Every 3000 miles, especially with the engine gelling issue.

Thanks for the help guys(gals)!

I do the same to silence the rattle but its such a cheesy fix.

tundra-lover:

I agree with your diagnosis about the window tracking frame within the door. I'll wait for your response before shuffling off to my mechanic.

Does anyone have a solution to this annoying problem? It comes and goes at varying times and road surfaces.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the referral.

How much did he charge and the quality of the work?

Opinions and recommendations-

Specifically in the So Cal area: cost and satisfaction would be good

thanks in advance

What can I add to this?

I bought a 98 with 19K miles back in 1999 and it has almosty 90K in mid 2004. Regular maintenance and no surprises yet. Nothing special in terms of body mods, wheels or audio but it still looks more classic than the latest versions. In So Cal, tinted windows are a necessity.

Paint is doing very well and I don't even wax it very often. Only blemish is the delamination on the center post (both sides).
