On my Gen 3, I have solved the problem of my waterfall console rattling by going old school; not high tech... Check out the picture! I cut a piece of wood the perfect length to wedge it into the perfect spot, and NO MORE RATTLES!!! Seems crazy to have to do this on my brand new $34k car... so; does anyone have any better suggestions?
A better ida...Ummm...wow..maybe a piece of black ABS pipe sanded to make it grey and matt like to match the interior colors better??? (Oh and by the way, congratulations- you've just voided your warranty!!!! )
(Oh and by the way, congratulations- you've just voided your warranty!!!! )[/QUOTE] Wood has a warranty?
I did this - place some grey fabric/felt and wedged it in the console crevice. Doesn't look "great" but it does the job.
Just forced it in there, it can only go so far, maybe an inch or so. I suppose if you wanted it to be not visible you could cut up some fabric and make it only an inch long or so. I used the same tough fabric that I used for my cargo liner that I cut out to fit the cargo area, so its easy to wiggle into there.
Please send this pics to the TOYOTA and say them that for $34k car they have to send u a small japanese that will hold your console
Thanks for all your help i put the wood in there for a temporary fix until the dealer can actually look at it. curious how the wood would void a warranty? it is just wedged in there; no screws or anything. When i bring the car back in to the dealership, I will take the wood out and ask them to address Appreciate all your thoughts though Dave
It's a joke. :doh: Whenever the car goes in for warranty work the SM claims the aftermarket equipment voids the warranty so the owner has to pay big bucks for the fix.
you should totally write toyota asking them to let you sell that as a Prius accessory in their service shops
Thanks, I'll try it tomorrow myself. Now we need a fix for the glove boxes and the center console box.
