Excellent video. Great instructions. Vaseline worked very well. Easy to install. Thank you!

Nice I have been looking for painting black so expensive but here you are good job 👍🏼 so helpful

Excelente ❤

Very nice ; I want to add a little comment : just be careful with the led pannels : they are different, so you must put them correctly ( left to left and right to right).

Does your sunroof still open with the crossbars installed?

Thank you for this! I installed this afternoon with your method, and it was great. I actually had to use the driver's side grommet instead of passenger side, though.

Thank you! Your video was the most helpful one out there on helping me install my crossbars on my 2024 RAV4 especially coming from someone who has never done anything like this before.

Can we not just bypass the inserting of the wire through the rubber tubing or grommet . Why insert it when no electrical connection thereto. Why not just tape it around the grommet ?? Thanks

So you have to pull it off from the window, the rubber thing. Is it difficult to put it back on ?

I just bought a carbon fiber ABC cover so no need to remove this piece at all. Amazon $65.

Each light panel will only fit into one particular side. You can't tell by just looking at them, and they don't seem to be marked 'left' and 'right'. Each one just fits better and will pop into its cutout with just moderate force. You'll see that if one is trying to be fitted into its opposite side it will appear to be just slightly out of shape for that cutout. ------ When pulling thru the first cable that 'T'-s off from the existing small right side light cable, be sure to leave cable slack down there. The in-line fuse for the new hatch lights is located about 8 inches up from the bottom end of the T cable. If you ever need to replace that fuse there will then be enough cable slack to pull the fuse holder out the lamp hole to change the fuse. ------ Before even starting the install process, be SURE to cut power to the existing right side light circuit. This CAN NOT be done with any of the car's switches or controls. I'm sure there's a fuse for it... somewhere. You can go find and pull it out temporarily if you want ! The easiest way, by far, to cut power to just this circuit is to use a flat screwdriver to press down the center 'claw' in the hatch latch which locks it into the 'closed' position when closing the hatch. Doing this fools the car into thinking the hatch is closed and cuts power to that circuit. When you really want to close the hatch be SURE to press the touch-sensitive button under the lip of the panel that goes across the middle of the back of the hatch's outside, You do when opening the hatch when it's closed. This powers the solenoid that unlocks the hatch's latch so the hatch can be opened. [I suppose this means that if the battery is (completely ?) dead, the hatch can't be opened at all.]

Oops ! You said you were going to take off the upper trim panel, but then you completely skipped that step.

Great video - best that I've seen ! I'm glad you showed that you tested the lights -before- replacing all the panels. One of the connector pairs may not have been seated all the way in its mate - you won't know til you test it. Toyota and Honda connectors and wiring are top-notch and generally foolproof, though.

Its a BAD IDEA TO USE VASELINE as a lubricant because it is petroleum-based. All petroleum products deteriorate artificial rubbers (with the exception of Neoprene and whatever gas and hydraulic fluid lines are made from). Use SILICON GREASE - AKA 'DIELECTRIC GREASE'. Products labeled 'dielectric grease' are far less expensive than those labeled 'silicon grease'. // It use can put up with the mess both WD-40 and silicon aerosol spray will work fine and not damage the soft rubber boot.

Does it last in canadain Winter

Just reversed into a tree which cracked this bit of trim on my wife’s car. She wasn’t happy. Thank you for this video as I’ll be confident to replace it myself now. Just have to buy the part from Toyota. 👍

Definetly give a much better looking to the RAV4. Could you type whats the bike holders model you placed over the roof rack. I got the same rack here in Europe but the other part I cannot find anyone fitting well here.

very nice

great video. It helped alot!

2024 same instructions. Thank you.

Thank you! This is a very helpful video and I learned how to and performed a removal of the trim! Very good presentation !

How much height does this add? Its hard to find specs online. Thanks!

I have a ridiculous amount of bubbles and can’t get rid of them!! 😭😭

DUDE!!! U HAVE A SCION XB2!!!!!! Hell yeah. I know this was 3 years ago: but I got few questions. 1: u still own that xB2? 2: have u upgrade to led on ur xB2? 3: if not, why haven’t u? lol 4: those are good reputable brands. How I can recommend look up Lasfit, Auxito, and or sylvania zevo led for reliable led bulbs, why not try those? And 5: those Oxilam 7440A led bulbs are the same as Auxito led bulbs. And how are they? Are they still running strong after 3 years? @GeraldOtto

Did you do the headlights and rear lights too?

I'm doing this in the next hour!!! ❤ Thanks for this

Thanks voor this video! Very helpful. Everything works fine. Only thing I changed were the tie-wraps. I used an electric copper wire. Pushed this from the small hole forward. When it was through, I folded a hook. Taped the cable ends together to protect them, then attach the taped cable to the copper wire with tape. I pulled everything through with a little Vaseline. Worked without any difficulty and very quickly. With the tie-wraps method I expierienced too much resistance for the tie-wraps and the hole at the end was very tiny and difficult to reach for me.

Just got these and today quickly realised what Bike rack is going to fit these? No worries I looked up the brand you had in your video and got that one just now.

Even four years later still very relevant. Greatly appreciate you putting this together!

Are these car wash resistant? or do they come off?

I used a hydroflask straw that was big enough for the wire to snake through the bigger rubber tube. I lubed up the exterior of the straw, fed it through, the lubed the cable a little and slid it through the straw. Put the straw back through and boom! Saved so much time! 6:47

Keren bang rav4 nya,jadi pengen punya rav

Does that trim detaches or comes apart?

Thanks for Review, getting for my 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE also.

nice video

Any videos on how to change lower rear tailgate molding for Rav4.

Best video on this subject.

where do you find the weight capacity for the roof rack cross bars

Is it hard to put the door seals back in?

Great tips and neat idea with the zip tie for the wire pull through the rubber grommet...thanks.

I installed mine using your video thank you so much. When I check the cross bars out the box one side of both bars was moving/ sliding. Is that normal? After installation nothing is moving or sliding. It feels solid.

How you put the rubber out the doors? Are they glued in the door when you put them back ?

A very useful video! Note: DO NOT plug the harness into the factory wiring connector until you are done, and then do it from the back seat with the trunk *closed*! Otherwise you will blow the fuse. Ask me how I know. The instructions *do* say to be sure the power is off when you plug it in...

can you make a chrome delete tutorial inside the car too please? Thanks

Hey Otto, great video, very helpful. Does it apply to 2023 Prime Rav4? Accidentally mine broke

Saw your video a month ago. Ordered my crossbars and got them installed in 10 min...piece of cake. Thanks!

I have these in my Rav. Much better than carpet mats.

I'm thinking of getting these for my 2919 rav4 I just got. Just don't like how they go over the sun roof. But all roof racks will.

Still relevant in 2023. Thank you.
