    21 trd off-road taco
    Hi everyone! So, I am absolutely pissed right now. I bought a 21 trd off-road taco 10/22/20 and just moved my roof rail cross members and found a terrible surprise! Rust about an inch from the mangled holes they “drilled” to mount these side rails. This is way beyond surface rust as I nearly cut my finger rubbing it to see if I could wipe it off. What do I do now??ED7CECA5-7299-4F00-8901-092F92A87AF5.jpg

    It looks to me like the interior roof bracing.
    I believe its supposed to be in focus. Instead, the roof rack hole is in focus.??

    Hello Tom
    Welcome to TacomaWorld
    I'd say drill shavings dropped into the hole and rusted.
    Now you have rust stains on new paint.
    Q tip and Ospho is all I would do.
    FYI after my last free Toyota service I never went back.
    They charged me for Cabin air filter and service. 1st gens don't have cabin air filters.
    Screw em

    buy yea OP all jokes aside, remove those bolts with caryon stains on them and pull the black piece off, some rubbing compound would prob clean up that amount of rust

    Yes, this type of manufacturing sloppyness is frustrating. Ya find all kinds of stuff if you look hard enough, most people don’t. I would fix it and move on, yes it sucks.
