BTW, I suppose I could pull out my headliner, but I don't have any problems (yet) and don't wish to face that beast.

TSB says " hose may become loose and water could leak",that would suggest possibility of a problem and solution to fix it if the problem shows up. If you don't have a problem why would you ever want to do anything and possibly mess something else up especially that the car is on warranty? I broke passenger side kick panel, trying to get to some radio wires, cost me like $50-100 to get a new one from a dealer, so speak I from experience . I drove my TCH in very heavy rain, possibly worse than I have seen in years and no leaks whatsoever. This TSB would be something to remember lets say 5 years from now, if you have a leak then. Repair manual which could be downloaded from Thundra or Toyota website has everything you would ever need to take the car apart to the last screw, including drain hoses, so if you're DIY type of guy, you pretty much need to get it sooner or later.

Re: List of pertinent TSB's
Pete, sorry to hear about your kick panel, and hopefully you were able to find what you were looking for in there. I actually have no intentions of pulling down the headliner. This is the first car I have had with a moon roof and I guess I wasn't aware that it would have a drain system.
The TSB does not have a schematic of the drain tubes.
There are four drains.
Two at the forward track corners with the window in the closed position and two and the rear track corners with the window in the full open position. It looks like they would drain to the front AND read foot well areas though.
As with any TSB the operative posture would be:
For everyone's information, here's TSB2757, which is the Canadian version of the U.S. TSB NV005-07 "Shifter Trim Squeak Noise," that I got from my dealer. I apologize for the five separate files, each with a single GIF image, but the GH site wouldn't accept them all together in a single ZIP or DOC file, and of course, it also won't accept GIF files directly.

Just about any car that has moon roof, it will also have drain hoses, the way it was explained to me was that this area can't be made completely water proof and drain hoses will take care of any water that gets in. Thanks for the sympathy, but I learned another lesson and some are not for free. On the other hand that kick panel is really messed up, there are 2 fasteners, top and bottom , one you need to slide toward front of the car, another to the back of the car for them to release, but I assumed they both release in the same direction and either I'm too strong for my own good or this plastic is too weak and just cracked when I was pushing it wrong way.

Stan, thank you very much!
While it's the Canadian/metric version (e.g 60K km), just having a hard copy in my hands is exactly what I'll need later this year... While my console's squeaking is gone for now (after much fussing with it over several months), I suspect it'll be back once the temps drop again. This time, I'll let the dealer change that @$%^ piece once & for all!
