Loose seat cushion AND AM radio reception issues AND rear wiper motor Options

[marblesmike]

Ok, I didn't want to make multiple threads so I figured I'd put it into one:

1) my passenger side seat cushion is loose. Not the entire seat, but just the cushion part. It will slide forward and pull up. Does anyone know where the bolts are to hold it in place and which size I might need (so I can order it from Toyota)?

2) my antenna motor has been broken since before I owned to car. The antenna was stuck all the way out, but radio reception was fine. Once at the car wash a guy pushed the antenna all the way down and it got stuck inside. I was able to loosen the screw on the outside to pull it out all the way, but AM radio reception has been nonexistent since he pushed it down. Any suggestions? All the connections are secure on the back of my head unit. Any reason why FM would be working but not AM? I thought it is just the one cable running from my antenna to my receiver.

3) I have to change my rear wiper motor. What's the easiest way to access it?


Thanks guys!

1) The cushion itself is held by the fabric, which is held by different types of pins and plastic hooks. Maybe your pins rusted out and broke.
3) Remove the wiper blade, then remove the big flat nut that is on the outside, above the motor. Then proceed to take off the plastic panels on the inside and use a ratchet to remove the nuts that hold it.

Thanks...so it doesn't look too promising on the seat. Too bad. I might have to whip the duct tape out and carefully apply it out of sight :-\
