  • Q: How to install the luggage compartment door Emblems on Toyota Solara?
    A: A proper installation of luggage compartment door name plates begins with heating the vehicle body and name plate using a heat light but avoiding excessive heat. First remove double-sided tape from the vehicle body surface and clean away adhesive residue through use of cleaner. Before restating an existing name plate apply heat to it to remove old taped material and apply fresh double-sided tape on its surface. Vehicle body and name plate heating precedes the removal of release paper from the name plate while paying attention to avoid letting foreign material touch the exposed adhesive before ultimately placing the name plate. The installation of all luggage compartment door name plates like the SE, SLE and SPORT labels uses this procedure on No. 7, No. 3 and No. 2 compartments.

Use 2 bolts for the generator assembly installation where Bolt A reaches 21 Nm (215 kgf-cm, 15 ft-lbf) torque range and Bolt B reaches 52 Nm (530 kgf-cm, 38 ft-lbf). Fasten the generator wire to terminal B with a 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm) torque nut then install the clamp bracket by tightening its bolt to 8.4 Nm (86 kgf-cm). Place the clamp onto the generator while connecting the generator connector to its terminal. The next step includes the installation of two parts: the fan and generator V belt in addition to the No. 2 engine mounting bracket RH and the No. 2 engine mounting stay RH followed by the engine moving control rod with bracket. Proceed with the installation of the front wheel to the right-hand side then connect the cable to the negative battery terminal before conducting the initialization process.
