Hi all,
I just got my Sequoia back from the dealer and was very disappointed with the Toyota recall/fix. If you have had any experience with removing this cover when trailering, you noticed it was easy to remove and replace. The designers at Toyota decided to provide us with a new cover that utilizes some of the existing slotted clips but added 2 cheap new ones at the bottom that requires you to lay on the ground using a screwdriver or pick to remove these new clips. (See Photos) I use my Sequoia for trailering a lot, and this process is going to be a major hassle.
I contacted Toyota Brand Engagement Center 1 800 331-4331 and commented on this poor design/fix. If you feel the same as I this call center will advocate to raise this issue to a higher level in the organization to hopefully have their engineering department, take another look at this cover attachment.
We paid a lot of money for a quality Toyota product, and this is by far the poorest attempt you can imagine fixing this cover.
