Rubber seal around hood latch

That is a warranty problem. If you can wait, have them fix it on the first oil change. FYI, I recommend the first engine and transaxle oil change at 5k miles to get any left over and early manufacturing debris and wear particles out.

If you do get the transaxle oil changed, take a clean, dry, water bottle and ask for 1 cup of the old oil. I'll have it analyzed and share the results. I did this with our Gen-3 and it was an eye opener. I have no interest in engine oil.

GOOD LUCK!

Pull on it from the other side of the hole.

 

Wow, another argument with the dealer on the tranny drain and fill. Dread it already.

Easier to trade every five years than argue with the dealer,

 

And Super Glue it.




Merged.

I ain't gonna touch my transmission for the life of the car.

( Heck, I'll be dead before the fluid ever needs changing! )

 

Kinda like walking around dirty and smelly. Doesn't do any harm but you feel better with a shower.

 

The real reason is, I prefer to have very little contact with those dealer mechanics. A once-a-year oil change is all I want them doing. I bought my Prius with the goal of having a very low-maintenance vehicle. I hope that holds true.
