    Never had that problem in my extended cab, the pressure in there always opens them so I have to close them regularly.

    :confused: anybody here well versed in the SR5 trim package
    I suppose from the nice paradise blue in the sister topic thread that '96 SR5 is the same as mine ('97) is to the 95.5
    so I have a question on this particular truck....
    https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1996-toyota-tacoma-3/
    is this a 'true' SR5 ... it is missing a number of things that my truck has :notsure: and the paradise blue has

    The '95.5 models have a smaller diameter eccentric on the cam bolts.

    Those were popular back in the day- known commonly as “bras.”
    Now, I haven’t seen one in ages.

    Ebay has LaBra for sale, which was a popular brand (retro-authentic cred)
    Run about 90/100

    Well in the 90s, it was a popular brand. I have never like them myself, so know nothing about quality.
    Covercraft (or was it Coverking) was another popular brand.

    Of course, well-made 20 plus years ago may mean nothing to well-made today.

    As far as I know the smaller cam bolts are unique to the 1995 models.
