Thule 400Xtr

Take a look at this Thule 400XTR Aero Rapid Roof Rack Foot Pack (Set of 4) Not bad at allBy T. KingInstalled on a 2007 Audi A4 sedan. Install went smoothly. Rack really looks great, much smoother than most. I also recommend the fairing. Couple of tips for the DIYers:1. You don't need to twist the foot handle until you break it when installing. If you bend the metal, you are doing something seriously wrong. 2. When putting the rubber weatherstripping in the load bars (do this after installing the feet and bars to your car), press them into the groove in the middle, then tamp down the ends (leave about 1/4" from the end of the bar clear of the weather stripping), then tamp it down evenly. Otherwise, you'll end up with rubber strip overhang that interferes with being able to put the endcaps on cleanly.3. If you are putting locks on your rack, you can either punch out the holes in the handles first before putting the feet on the car, or you can punch the blank circles out when it is on top of the vehicle. If you choose the latter, have a pair of needlenose pliers available to fish the blanks out from inside the handles. 4. You need to push the handles in hard to close them after screwing them tight.5. Attaching the fairing is simple. Assembling the fairing, while simple, is not easy. There is a step when you are required to push the middle anchors onto a clasp that requires significant hand strength. I'm a really big guy, and I found it very difficult. Point is, if you have a local bike shop that you can pay $20-30 for install, it is money well spent. I like the system. Rackoutfitters had a complete setup for $288, including the load bars and the fit kit. Fairing was extra. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. » More Information about Thule 400XTR Aero Rapid Roof Rack Foot Pack (Set of 4).

Rain-X RX30224

Shop online Rain-X Weatherbeater Wiper Blade - 24" Great WipersBy R LuffyI had purchased these wipers after my other silicone wipers had failed me, they even had a lifetime warranty. After not wanting to deal with sub-par wipers I bought these, through a friends recommendation, and will had pressed to use another brand of wiper. These wipers were so great that I bought them for my other vehicle as well. Had them for over a few months, and during rain, snow, and the weird cash wash they have endured. I personally have recommended them to my friends and family and none have had anything bad to say about it. Hope this helps.0 of people found the following review helpful. » More Information about Rain-X Weatherbeater Wiper Blade - 24".

Fram FCF9846A

Shop online FRAM CF9846A Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter A definite step up from the stock filterBy R. BergI highly recommend this filter as a better alternative to the factory part. Although there's nothing wrong with the stock Toyota filter, the addition of activated charcoal and baking soda reduce the odors reaching the cabin from an often-smelly highway. It may not eliminate the most noxious pollutants, but it does help. BTW, I avoid Fram's oil filters, but they seem to manufacture good air filters, both for the ventilation system and for the engine.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. » More Information about FRAM CF9846A Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter.

Fram CF10285

Where can I get this FRAM CF10285 Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter Worked very well in my 2007 CamryBy B. GlowaThis filter fit well in my 2007 Camry.Just had to open the glove box, empty it and drop it down by squeezing the end plates to pull the retaining pins. The Glove box then opens fully to expose a door for the Cabin filter. Note which way the air flow arrow goes. Points away from the dirty side of the existing filter.The install fit was good and the air did smell fresh. With the old filter I was getting a musky smell due to age (onyx 30K miles and 1 year)The new filter smells much better and was cheaper than a stock Toyota filter. Not sure how long the fresh smell lasts but it's a good start.Thanks FRAM for the new option!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. » More Information about FRAM CF10285 Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter.

Thule 961XT

Best price Thule 961XT Speedway 2-Bike Trunk Rack Very Very bad bike rackBy G. GoodmanI have owned this bike rack for over a year, and with light use, pieces just keep braking off this thing. It is made with a lot of plastic, and plastic and bike racks don't go together. Since I have bought this, the back "plastic" piece that keeps the holders on came off while on the highway, almost lost both bikes at 70 MPH. The adjustable angle section, which is the large plastic piece that holds all the pipes together, kept braking through the holes, one by one. Long and short, i have learned my lesson. I will never by a bike rack with "plastic" pieces again.12 of 12 people found the following review helpful. » More Information about Thule 961XT Speedway 2-Bike Trunk Rack.

Valeo 600-24

Cheapest Valeo 600-24 Series Wiper Blade - 24" Streaky WipeBy Hyun S. KimI was previously using Bosch Icons before on my car and I was really happy with their performance until they wore out after only 4 or 5 months. The Valeo 600 wipers are rated Consumer Reports best value and have had very good reviews so I gave them a try. I've had them for about a month now and I dont know if they will get better with age but so far not very good. I use 24" on the driver side and 20" on the passenger side as well as one 20" on the rear. The 20" wipers seem fine but the 24" never wipes clean. It leaves a huge 5" wide unwiped streak on my windshield. Maybe these 24" dont fit my car very well (Acura RSX). I'll probably go back to using Icons but it was worth a try considering these are supposed to last a good long time and cost less than half the price of the Icons.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. » More Information about Valeo 600-24 Series Wiper Blade - 24".

Metra BT-1761

Where can I buy a Metra BT-1761 Bluetooth Integration Harness for Toyota 1990 and Up This couldn't get any easier...By Steven L. RosenIf you're considering a do-it-yourself installation of a Parrot Bluetooth system in your car, this is a MUST HAVE ITEM. Unless your car has european "ISO Standard" radio wiring, the Parrot installation involves a whole lot of cutting and splicing of the radio power and speaker wiring harnesses inside the dashboard - 14 different wires in the case of my Toyota. With this harness, you simply unplug the car harness from the radio, plug the Metra harness into the radio, plug the car harness into the Metra harness, and then plug the Parrot ISO connectors into the Metra harness and you're done.Obviously, the simple installation can be reversed just as easily should you desire to move the Parrot to another car in the future.See all 1 customer reviews... » More Information about Metra BT-1761 Bluetooth Integration Harness for Toyota 1990 and Up.

The 26" refill is 8mm wide and the 16" refill is 6mm wide so obviously that is the problem.

Saris 1047P

Buying online Saris Guardian 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack Tough to fit 3-bikes, buzzes while driving fastBy Michael A. BehrI got this bike rack because it was mid range, though now I'm wishing I had sprung for the extra few $$$ for the Bones.Let's start with the good: Installation is a breeze and it fits VERY solidly on the back of my car, and fits a wide range of cars including Buick Lesabre and Toyota Camry. I'm quite confident that when I put my bike on, it's going to be there when I get to wherever I'm going.Okay, so now the downsides:The first issue I have is with the straps that affix this to the car. They hold the rack securely, but when you take taut straps and run air over them at 40+ mph, they start to buzz... LOUDLY. Maybe SUVs won't have this issue, but my sedans do.Second issue is the whole question of 3 bikes. I put two bikes on, and really didn't see how I would fit a third on.Lastly, there's putting a woman's bike on. It looks like women's bikes require the purchase of a Bike Beam accessory to create a virtual top tube. I got this only by looking at the website; the instructions in the box weren't clear about this. Such an accessory might be needed for every bike rack out there, but for the price, they could have included at least one! Or at least made it clearer at the time of purchase so that I could have purchased both at the same time.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. » More Information about Saris Guardian 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack.
