    They left it outside with the window down most likely.

    First accident caused by me in all years of driving. These things happen. I’m very fortunate that in the midst of this pandemic working in a major hospital that this minor ding is the worst that has happened to me through this so far. I pray u and your family are safe and perhaps that no one sh*ts in your Cheerios going forward. Life is a blessing man, enough with the Debbie downership.

    the product comes in a tube for a caulking gun. It dries semi solid but removable if need be available at Lowe’s most commonly used for sealing around roof vents. Don’t get it on your hands or clothes.

    I used an acid brush to spread it. As I said it looks like hell but cowl covers the ugliness so it’s win win.

    Well I just noticed something else botched on my truck since the repairs. My AC only works on high now. Not sure if any of this stuff is somehow connected but that is a new finding. Man makes me sick. Was without the truck for 7.5 weeks now getting it back and while it’s nice to have it back, seem to have inherited new problems.

    Another known problem on Tacoma’s. You may get away with just a wiggle of the connector where it plugs into blower motor. You can see this with glove box removed. Sometimes it worse and plug is burned requires replacement. Common complaint is fan wont operate at lower speeds.

    Lol yeah. Well I got it back working at least temporarily. Amazing what google and YouTube can show u. I just jiggled the wires to the adapter after taking out the glove box and it’s back blowing at all speeds. A common thing that goes wrong with these model years but somehow mine has lasted
