    These are on my 2007. This was done at Bill Dube Toyota in Dover, NH. They did an OK job at trying not to over-spray stuff they should not be covering. Over a month later, the stuff is still very tacky and will come off if you touch anything.

    ^^^^Thanks for the pics ^^^ wow looks ok but I'm not to thrilled how it's coming off of ya touch it, even after a month of being on? I think I'll wait and see how many others get it done and see how well it it holds up might just pass on getting it done, I have till 2016 according to Toyota's letter, may just keep using my fluid film method...

    Keep in mind that if you choose not to do this, you forfeit the right to any further action on the frame in the future. This is either frame replace, frame spray or, the owner is on their own after the drop-dead date. ;)

    Have you contacted your dealer about this? I'd think that is NOT normal? Anyone else having this issue?

    My 05 just failed and no offer was made. Just a new frame and a loaner, for 6 weeks! At least I got an upgrade loaner, a RAV4. I couldn't even get in the Corolla they offered. They have no loaners with tow pkgs.

    That is normal and it was explained that it would "never harden" over any amount of time. Do I like it? No. Do I care? No, I'm selling this one next year and buying a 2015. ;)
