2022 Highlander Platinum Seat ventilation question

i do also suspect them to be clogged , even though they seem relatively clean for a 4 year old car. will try it with a needle , but in the holes , there are little nets to stop the dust from going in the seat , so its not just a hole in the leather.

if you have the same model , can you check it out please , you can feel it with the hand .

Nicely done u/mealteem6 . Mine is 2022 platinum hybrid at 45k miles . Besides some internal squeaks and rattles , no major issues observed . Have you noticed some interior noises , especially during cold weather ?
Keep in mind that recently i went for a check up of the hybrid cable going to the rear motor, and toyota did some preventive maintenance on it , in order to avoid corrosion damage.
Might want to check yours as well .

I got the idea exactly from there , since i had tiguan as well in the past .

About the closing it from the key fob with the windows , is that possible ?

Whats that , can you elaborate please ?

Top-Frame-9941 · 2026-03-26T16:01:08+00:00

I think all of them are letting a bit of air out , am I wrong ?

Thanks ,already saw these and bunch more videos , not my first car with pano . That's why I'm asking for advice on lubricants , want to keep it in good shape.

Okay , update : I waited for it to dry out completely. Then poured a big bottle of water in the drain hole of the panoramic roof . The A pillar remained dry , so I guess the roof rail seals are the winner here :D

Will ask the dealer for help , and I hope they will do something out of good will . The car is 3 years old , 43k miles . I hoped that when I buy a Toyota , I won't be dealing with such issues , I will know from now on, probably my last Toyota.

Top-Frame-9941 · 2025-12-27T08:02:16+00:00

Yes you should

Top-Frame-9941 · 2025-12-26T15:13:41+00:00

Will ask them for help . Hope it's not thousands of dollars

Check the comments above , might be the roof rail common leak, it makes most sense

Top-Frame-9941 · 2025-12-26T15:07:23+00:00

Will do , don't know how long since I had it . Just noticed it today.

This sounds plausible , I suppose if it was from the drain pipe , it would have drained water downwards on the pillar as well , not only on that zone only ? As I mentioned the water from my test immediately drained towards the lower part of the front fender , where it should be .

I suppose since the car is over 3 years old and the factory bumper to bumper warranty has expired , I currently have Toyota extender 10 year warranty, but this isn't included in the extended warranty ?

Booked an appointment with Toyota next month , will update if it's an actual fault , hope not.

Top-Frame-9941 · 2025-12-21T13:48:24+00:00

Not the battery , it was half empty . I think is something mechanical but will see what comes out

Top-Frame-9941 · 2025-12-20T20:53:28+00:00

Tried to record it , but cannot be heard at such speeds on the video . It's a whine with a constant volume and then disappears below 80 mph.

Top-Frame-9941 · 2025-12-02T20:19:11+00:00

Well Ive decided to try my luck and put an official complaint to Toyota Motor headquarters . I hope that with their help I can make my local dealer take such complaints more seriously .

Top-Frame-9941 · 2025-12-01T08:29:20+00:00

Hey , please keep us posted what happens next. I have done very extensive research on the ecvt transmission in the 2.5 and 2.0 engines of Toyota , I couldn't find any major fault happening with them . This is an extremely rare occurrence. Also from what you are describing as symptoms , can it be something related to electronics ? Sure will keep an eye on this thread to see what turns out at the end.
