I just removed one and was surprised to find some fairly thick grease/lubricant inside the door where the plug fits in.

I didn't remove the plugs. I don't know if they serve the purpose of keeping dust or debris out. It's odd that they don't have small weep holes in them to allow water out. The Toyota Rep stated clearly that their purpose is to allow water out, but I guess you have to pull them out to drain...

Yes, that is what I noticed with my windows. Those plugs at the bottom are easily removed to allow water to escape. According to the Toyota Rep I met with all windows allow some water to enter the door.

I finally met with the Toyota rep two days ago! It was interesting, and I ended up learning a lot. He carefully examined the paint on each side of the truck. He used an instrument that measures paint thickness, and took many readings in sequence recording differences. His opinion was that the...

Thanks for the info Tire fryer! Very helpful.

So I received a call from the dealership today. A Toyota rep will have a look at the truck next week. Honestly I have resigned myself to an unsatisfactory outcome. I expect they will point to the paperwork I initialed stating that I accepted the truck in the condition it was in. I kick myself...

I was definitely not on my game when I went to pick up the truck. The light was waning. It was under an awning, and they were closing in an hour. I hurried through everything. It never occurred to me that a vehicle could be sold as "new", when it had body damage that had been repaired. Too late...

My hope is that they do replace the truck. The problem is that I don't have any idea how extensive the damage they repaired was. At the very least it required painting the doors. The dent is very hard to understand. How do you even make a dent like that, in that location? I looked at the seals...

I finally received my long awaited Tacoma. First thing I noticed the next day in full sunlight, (I picked it up right before dark.), was a strange paint pattern on the passenger doors. The celestial silver went dark-light dark-light all the way down the doors near the handles only. I checked the...

I too appreciate the info Steve, and subscribed to your YouTube channel. It's been a nerve wracking ride the past two months, trying to understand why my Tacoma never arrives. Strange thing about my story is that my dealership website has changed the expected delivery date several times. I...
