Rav4 Renovations

The Wrath of Typhoon Glenda
This happened on July 16, 2014.
Last July 16, 2014 Typhoon Glenda (internationally called Rammasun) caused a portion of a tree to fall on the hood of the Rav4. It has since been repaired, but the car needs more work done. I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

Most important are the headlights. I may have them sanded to clear the yellowing on the plastic. I'm also saving up a good amount of money to upgrade the headlights and fog lamps to more powerful, all-weather bulbs. I've driven once or twice lately in the dark during rains, and the headlights aren't really up to it anymore. Better illumination will help.

Also a leak has developed on the driver's side of the car. Whenever it rains the driver side carpet gets wet. I haven't been able to find the source of the leak but I'm hoping once I do find the time to look for it we can find a way to seal that leak.

Back to the hood, while it has been repaired I have yet to have it brought back to the shop that did it for sanding. So the hood still looks rough, but hopefully soon that problem will be solved.

The sound system is also an issue. I need a new head unit, basically. And maybe a new antenna.

Out.
