look at your car, sir, and see if the glass runners and the window rubber are warped.
kung hindi naman... just enjoy your car, keep the drain holes open, and let the drain holes do their job.

so why do car doors' drain holes get clogged?
"dirt."

Okay noted thanks dr. d

Yes..

Meron lang plastic cover yan to protect yung sidings.. others use plastic with butyl waterproofing.. may iba naman na whole cover talaga..

May drain holes yan usually 3.. corners and middle portion

Hello mga Bossings, malapit na ako magpalit ng timing belt for Innova 2015 Dsl. Nagtanong ako sa casa ang sabi ay 14.4k yung belt replacement kit and labor. Nagtingin din ako sa online sellers at may nagbebenta ng timing belt replacement kit ranging from 5-8k lang. Meron ba dito nakapagtry bumili sa online sellers na 5-8k lang kung legit na genuine parts or OEM or class A or just total waste of money? Salamats sa mga sasagot.

Masyadong important ang timing belt.

I would only buy it from the casa or an autosupply known to sell genuine toyota parts

i wouldn't try non-casa timing belt and labor.
i have little ex-casa experience with timing belt kasi.

Hi guys, I have a 2005 Toyota Innova Diesel J variant. Lately nagpatint ako ng medium dark sa front pati sa side, and pinalitan ko din ilaw ko ng LED for both headlight and fog lamp (daylight yun beam). Medyo hindi ako sanay parang madilim kahit na both nakabukas ang headlight at LED. And sabi ng iba kapag umuulan daw or fog, mahihirapan akong magdrive kasi parehong puti ang ilaw ko.

Ang question ko ay meron bang headlight na ang hi and low beam ay magkaibang color? Let's say low beam is white then hi beam is yellow. Can you guys recommend any LED or HID na medyo bright for dark tint pero hindi nakakasilaw sobra sa kasalubong? And if possible maginstall pa ako ng isang third light aside from headlight and fog lamp, possible kaya?

Also, yun sa gulong ko, yun wheel center hub, yun isa nanakaw, san kaya ako makakabili ng ganon? I saw sa online parang may mga nagbebenta pero not sure if the size will fit.

Thank you mga katsikot.
God Bless.

if you want fog and rain penetration, you will have to get yellow bulbs,
and as it is illegal to sport yellow headlights in the metro...
your only option is to have regular headlights, and yellow foglights.
peruse the LTO's foglight laws, po, so you know what you are up against.

that innova's standard headlight design allows for only one double-filament headlight bulb. i do not know of any source for double-color double-filament headlight bulbs.

center caps? lazada or shopee, but they are sold in sets.
puede rin banawe or evangelista, kung one piece lang. "who knows, you might end up purchasing your own purloined center cap!"

finally,
to those who find their stock headlights too dark for after they install front windshield tint,
my suggestion is, remove your front windshield tint, and stick to stock headlights, po.
it is not right to allow yourself the luxury of augmented headlights to compensate for your front tint, if said headlights will only cause oncoming motorists to be blinded by your glare.

i have heard of LED aftermarket assemblies that promise increased illumination but controlled glare...
learned ones please chime in.

PIAA Hyper Arros is really good. Brightness of LED, but color temp of regular halogen, around 4000K IIRC.
But the bulbs are pricey. I suggest looking out for sales at the official Blade or PIAA store on Lazada or Shopee.
