Recently fitted my snorkel. Used money I received over xmas to get it, and fitted it as soon as it arrived. Heart sank drilling into the car though.
Bloody prick of a job.. and a bit of bad luck and prob lack of experience on my part.
The attachment for the hole saw originally didn't fit my drill, so had to run down and grab my old mans drill from his place.
Didn't think i'd need a nutsert tool since it wasn't in the "required tools" list of the manual... which led me to a trip to bunnings, and a little while searching how to install nutserts without a nutsert tool. Ended up getting a long screw and nut, and using the pressure of the nut to collapse the nutsert.
Could barely get my hand on top of the snorkel (between the guards) to screw on the remaining nut, when I did, the nut dropped and rolled in just between the frame of the door and the door sills. Took a while to get out.
Also slipped while breaking the plastic clips on the guard liner, and sliced my arm open on part of the frame of the car. Healed up ok, but part of my sleeve is now slightly mis-aligned. Luckily a part that's not noticable.

I'm convinced there's a slight leak in the seal between the guard. Had Toyota check it, they think it's sealed fine, though blocking the snorkel gives a sound of a leak from there. Going to order some new gaurd liner clips and re-check myself to be 100%.
