    I was cleaning the car yesterday and accidently pushed the center of one of the two clips (plastic bolt - push type?) found on the underside of the display panel roof. I am not sure what it holds, but has this happened to anyone else and whether you fixed it back? If so, how? I don't want to try and pull it out and then put it back like you would if it was on a door panel.

    yeah, I've done it before just for w/e curious reason, but DON'T pull it out, b/c it's a pain to try and put it back in

    Thanks for the reply and the warning not to pull it out. But, did you fix it?

    Yes, I did put it back in correctly, but it was a pain, toyota needs to use some easier plastic pins.

    I decided to take the car to our dealer this morning (after your warning not to pull it out!). The technician pulled it out using an L-shaped pointy tool and put it back. Our car is still under warranty, so no charges!
