Has anyone successfully added this part to their 2022+ F-Sport? Trying to work with the parts guys at my dealer to get what I need to install and I'm hoping someone can assist with some parts lists or pictures or anything that would help me identify what I need to install. We've ordered Part Number: 6491060270C2 and it looks like it's the right length, now we are just trying to figure out which parts are needed to install and how to install it.
I cannot fathom paying almost $1,000 for that. Must be very expensive because nobody wants it. A similar cover for a 4runner is around $175.
Definitely steep even with decent a discount. My Audi one had a retail of $300 for an Audi part. Would gladly be open to other non-factory options as well but so far that search has been an empty one.
Just wanted to share for anyone interested in installing the factory tonneau cover in an LX600 F-sport. Here is the parts list needed. Took maybe 20 minutes a side to remove panels make the needed cuts in them, assemble hardware and reinstall.
I felt it was extremely easy like a 1 out of 10, being that it's about 3 bolts, a couple of electrical connectors and a bunch of trim tabs to pop loose on each side. However, I'd consider myself an somewhat experienced enthusiast who is used to working on cars and boats both mechanically and electronically such as replacing engine/brake/suspension parts and installing custom car/boat audio hardware. I'd say the hardest part is the cutting of the $900 plastic panels in the funky shape required. Just take your time and it'll be fine.
The biggest unknown when I took it apart was figuring out where exactly to cut, but Toyota was nice enough to have a template in the mold so that it shows you exactly where to cut on the inside of the panel. Cut just to the inside of the lines and trim as needed so it's a snug fit and the outer piece covers the cut so it looks clean.
All the tools you need are a metric socket set (I think it was 10mm and 14mm maybe, don't quote me on the sizes), a short socket extension was helpful as well, trim removal tools or something similar to pop the panels apart, then something to cut the plastic with. I used an oscillating cutting tool to plunge cut, but a drill and a small jigsaw or a Dremel with a cutting bit could work as well.
Extremely helpful post. You answered the biggest question which is cutting the interior driver and passenger panels. I am a competent mechanic. Until I am not.... Trick is not to melt the plastic when cutting it. Thank you very much.
I live in Dallas and wandering eyes and stuff in cars do not make for a fun time in parking garages downtown.
I am shocked that they didn't mold an indent into the panels to drop in the tonneau cover. BMW does this. Mercedes does this. But I guess I can complain about the lack of the split tailgate and no rear view mirror with camera....
No problem. You already know you can melt the plastic, so you are ahead of the game. I didn't have too much of an issue with melting with the oscillating tool with a fine tooth bit. For the most part the rough edges are easily cleaned up and covered by the outer trim piece where cover mounts in.
I travel to Houston and Dallas for work and have the same issues. The first and last day has my stuff sitting in the car.
I came out of an Audi Q7 and it came from the factory with cover and it was also molded in. Definitely miss a couple of tech things and the way some of the things function.
