    2022 access cab 4X4 Sport. What's this above each of the access cab doors? Doesn't seem to be a coat hook. I'm mystified.

    I could be totally wrong, but I think that's just how they keep up the headliner. But yeah, sometimes they have a hook and doubles as a coat hook. Who knows, it might be the flex capacitor cover.

    Solid-state microphones. Toyota is listening to everything.

    Or, that’s where the coat hooks used to go.

    Yeah it’s just a puck with a screw under the cap. Helps hold the headliner in place so when the side airbags deploy your whole headliner doesn’t just blow the fuck out.
