Tried to find a 2022 Taco TRD to order... the dealer tells me they don't know when they will be in AND you cannot even order it or a previous model due to supply issues.

Fix it yourself, they aren't going to do shit for you. I'd recommend the little adams SPTA kit. https://www.amazon.com/SPTA-Cordless...3389212&sr=8-5 It's amazing how handy that little tool is for cleaning things up.

Used Meguiar's 205 with a 3" light cutting pad, followed by the same polish with finishing pad. Then just clean it with Stoner's Invisible Glass and a glasses cloth. Actually looks better than it did before the scratches... |

They work about as well as @Sapphireho describes. For the most part it keeps stuff out of your gutters but it doesn't keep stuff off the top of your gutters. If you have a lot of trees, it now piles up on top and needs to be cleaned off which is easier, and sometimes storms will cause it. Also, a heavy downpour will overrun most of these types of gutter guards, particularly if you have a lot of roof area, or your roof is steep. Most come with a lifetime warranty that basically covers gutter cleaning if they stop up. Personally, I have standard gutters on my house, and a company that comes out and cleans them 3 times a year for $100 per trip. My house is 3 stories tall in the front, and I have about 200ft of gutter that gets cleaned. Never have an issue. To add the guards to my house was estimated at $3,000 the one time I had my gutters replaced so the break even point for me would be 10 years.

not sure if you're aware, but toyota doesn't do 'orders'. they just simply build and ship. what each dealer gets, they get. some dealers are willing to work with customers and will dealer trade for what other dealers got that's more preferable to the customer. but in this market, anything and everything is selling faster than they can unload it off the truck. so there's barely anything anymore to even trade for. the 2 toyota dealers near me, they've got 20 used cars on the lot and 10 new cars. spread out enough so it looks like something... and all of that inventory doesn't last more than a week or two.

Gutter guards? Yes for our use.
The first installment we had were some sort of plastic which lasted for 30? odd years until a heavy hail storm pieced the guards in so many places it wasn't funny. The same hail storm damaged something like 45,000 cars. The insurance paid for new guards which are aluminum. What ever dust and foliage gets through is fine enough for rain to wash away.

That's an interesting design I haven't seen before.

I'm guessing for me what happened was that the tech was a point-and-reader and decided to use a pen or something to point at my odometer reading and then fucked up and scratched the window.
