Finally have a break to dive into a bunch of "getting to know you" projects on my 2010 LE Sienna bought in October. This week I will try my hand at pumping out all the transmission fluid, replacing rear shocks (KYB), oil and filter change and the first project -that has my attention, dealing...

Any advice for handling rust on the sliding door track? Most of what I’m seeing online is about superficial repair, and I’m looking for structural prevention.

Hi All- New to the forum. I have just bought a 2014 from a dealership. I haven't even picked it up yet. Pick it up on Monday. I noticed when I was checking out the van the final time before buying it there seemed to be some corrosion on the base of the B pillar on the passenger door right where...

Hi Sienna owners. Please help me - How to remove a black plastic trim from the door. It looks like it's glued by double sided tape. Any plastic clips under ? I found some rust under the door trim which I need take care :frown: Please see attached photo. Thank you in advance Best regards...

Our 2004 LE has always been in upstate NY, but rust has been minimal until the past year. Most notable has been the rear jack points (on the pinch weld) which have crumpled upward when trying to jack. Tonight's tire swap was accomplished only using two hydraulic jacks a foot apart to spread the...

2006 Limited with about 144K miles. Has lived its life in the rust belt, and I have always suspected that the first owner (first 6 yrs) had a long gravel driveway or road and parked this thing outside. Just an FYI. I noticed a hint of rust starting to form along the front edges of each rear...

All, I'm thinking of getting my 2008 Sienna rust proofed to get through the winter here in Ottawa Canada. Wondering if anyone else has done it and whether you would recommend me also doing it? Thanks Darren

Hi all I've just moved to the US (Michigan) from Australia to be closer to extended family, and we picked up a 2008 Sienna LE in nice condition this week. I made sure to check for any body rust etc. prior to purchase because I've heard that's a nightmare in the snowbelt/rustbelt states. But...

I recently discovered that a bumping noise I heard on the road was the head of my passenger side strut hitting the underside of my hood. My first reaction was that the strut tower rusted through and the car is now junk. Not going to pay to have that welded/fixed given the age and mileage...

I found rust on my 1½ year old 2011 Sienna while giving it a spring cleanup. I saw a few posts about rust dots but this is actual, bubling rust. I showed it to a friend who works for a bodyshop and he told me that he often sees this on Corollas and Matrix. Apparently the paint on this part if...

Hi Folks, I just purchased a 2004 LE that seems to have spent it's life in a garage as much as on the street– 36400 miles on it. Everything seems to work but the 17" rims are very rusty while there is no evident rust on the car. One rim needed to be removed and the bead cleaned so that the tire...

Hello all, I did a car wash today and found two very tiny rust points on the body of the car. Does anyone have similar issue? Is this covered by Rust Warranty? Thank you

Hello, I got my car rust proofed a few months after I bought it. Before I rust proofed it, I did NOT notice any loud rattling like noises coming from the back area. After, I picked up my Sienna after rust proof was done on it, I noticed loud rattling noises coming from the back area that I...

I can not decide whether or not I should get rust proofing for my new Sienna. Thoughts?

What should I expect from my 2009 ? How old is your van (same generation please ) ? If you have rust , where it is located ? Do you live in the northern states or in canada where the winters are kind of rough and the road covered with salt ? Any aftermarket rustproofing on your van ? if so...

I'm curious to know how many people Rust proof their Sienna. I've done both Krown and now I've switched over to Rust check this year. I had lackluster service from Krown (missed spots, missed reinstalling plugs etc.) Let us know what you do to keep your Sienna looking good. Regards, JC.

i see very small rust spot - more like dots on sides of my sienna. I can feel it when i run my finger over it. i have 2007 sienna and i think too early to have rust problem. Dots are so small that you can only see if you are 1-2 ft from car or if you run your hand over the body. There are just...

Hi Guys, I have a bit of rust on my 1998 Sienna passenger side rocker panels. I haven't tried to poke a screw driver through it, but when I use my finger it appears to be surface rust only at this point. What is your advice to best repair it? Regards, Jason.

This is attempt to jump start one of specific Canadian topics - Rust Proofing. I reproduce discussion of our predecessors on this topic. I find this short discussion to be very typical. Whole spectrum of opinions is presented, including the major difference between recommendations of the U.S...
