I'm living in the North York area.. but i went to richmond hill very often, that's why i notice the background building in your picture.
Don't even mention about the tint.. I was forced to have that tint from dealer (cuz i want the red color.. long story) I believe this tint is 35%.. which what i really want is 20% tint. Here is the larger pic for u.

haha.. sounds like you are not liking the tint a lot, nice ride anyway. Oh..I am so looking forward to the "warmer" spring.

I like it, the tint job is actually not so bad.. just the color ain't dark enough for me. I'll rather they don't have the tint and give me $180 discount, so i can do it outside to have the 20% tint I want.

Hey Phuangk,

I notice you have the same Toyota OEM window visors as I do. Have you had any issues with them making a gritty noise when closing? Although I like the look of them being inside the window track vs. outside over the chrome, mine have been a nightmare....

yap, I have the same issue as yours, that's why i took them off after one week i got my car. Even tho, it looks good compare to those outisde version, but i don't know what will it do to the windows / window track in the long run... hmmm maybe.. i should have put them back on and bring it back to Toyota dealer and asked them to give me refund for it..

wetherburner · 03-23-2008, 10:05 AM

You should bring it back. My visors actually lightly scratched the outside of my windows (but up in the track where you can't see it if the windows are closed). So the dealer said they would remove the visors and refund me the money - in addition to replacing all four scratched windows (which had to get approval from Toyota Canada).

Not like I'm a tree hugger, but I thought that would be a big waste to the environment to throw out four perfectly fine windows, so instead I suggested they tint my windows for free - which they did.

At this point I live with the noise because I like the look of the visors on - and can't stand after market cheap ones.

arggg.. again, I was forced to have that visors by toyota dealer because I want the Barcelona Red color (Long story.... again...) I think if i go back to dealer and bixch about it, then I will become Don Valley North Toyota #1 black list customer!! Beside, the sales person who sell my car to me is my high school friend, so i don't want to give him too much trouble because of me been a "BAD customer" to them... I guess i'll just leave them in my storage room and collecting dusts..

And yes, noise is one of my concern, too, and I am more worry that in the long rum, the water leaking will become one of the problem.

Very clean Camry, man. Good to see another Toronto member.

Where did you take those pics? I just can't make it out...looks either like North York or near the AMD offices in Markham.
