Q: How do I pull the third row seat up in a 2006 Toyota Highlander?
I just purchased a used 2006 Toyota Highlander and can't seem to pull up the third row seat as the bar for the shade pull out in the luggage compartment seems to be in the way. Please someone explain in very simple terms how I do this. Maybe you know of a youtube video to show me how.

A: That "bar" for the shade is called a Tonneau cover. The Tonneau cover comes out by sliding it either to the left or right. Once you remove the tonneau cover, the rear seats will pull up just fine with a pull from the handle located in the center.

Q: What did you think of the 2010 Toyota Highlander commercial kid?
The one where the little boy talks about how his family station wagon is "lame" and the Toyota Highlander is cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8EkBVEQMvg My friends and I were talking about it the other day. They thought it was cute, but I thought the kid was really obnoxious. I know its marketing, but how is promoting bratty kids a good thing? Anyway, I was wondering what others thought of it.

A: Thank God! It isn't just me!!! I absolutely HATE that commercial, as well as the laundry detergent commercial where Mom lies about wearing her daughter's shirt to a club (She is the mother - why is she lying?) and the commerical with the tacos where the parents are so dumb it takes a 5-year-old to tell them how to put meat in tacos, and then they have a fiesta because the adults are so dumb. So yes, commericals are becoming more obnoxious as time goes by, and we hate it, but besides refusing to buy the products and writing the companies, there isn't much else you can do.

Q: My power steering fluid level keeps dropping in my 2002 Toyota Highlander?
My 2002 Toyota Highlander was making some weird sounds when I turned to the extreme right or left, I noticed the power steering fluid level was low, so I refilled it, which ended the sound. I've only driven the car about 80 miles since re-filling the power steering fluid, and it's really low again, lower than it should be, almost empty in the chamber. Is it leaking? And if so, where would the leak most likely be found?

A: Fill it up and start the car, then look under the car for the dripping. If is not then turn the wheel from side to side completely and that should show where it is leaking from. If not then you may have to jack it up and look under it while it is running but do not go under the car unless it is safely on jackstands.

Q: Should I wait for the 2008 Toyota Highlander?

A: new models always have problems so if you like the current one go for it... the new highlander is going to be larger and more powerful i hear... i would get the current one, it is nice.
