hideogumperjr Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Hello all, thanks for letting me join in, Ive go 170km on my Highlander and its been mostly a great car. Going over snowy, icy mountain passes here in Washington state was a breeze but we found out the hard way that mice love the car. Only a couple of years old mice got into the engine wiring an hoses to the tune of $8k. They also found their was into the fresh air system through the fresh air vent under the hood and into the cabin filter where the ate the filer and had a rat-fest party there, poop and nest and all. I crafted a piece of 1/4" machine wire screen and put it into the fresh air entry and that took care of that. Hoping the next purchase has a pre-installed screen!

Toyota Owners Club Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Hi...welcome to the Club That's bad news about the mice invasion and it seems to affect many makes and models of vehicle> Not sure any manufacturers have ever addressed the issue of rat/mice infestation and the resulting damage caused by them nesting. Have you considered buying a cat? 🙂 Good to have you onboard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
