Has anyone else noticed this ? I didn't see it until 20k later.

Yes I have. Hasn't bothered me enough to do anything about it yet though.

Nope, not on mine & its 37k old.

Find the thread about lifting the centre console, might just be something loose or out of line.

Never really watch the gear box

I'll check it l8r..

Is the Gap big enough to let any things slip in?

Posted

Enough for a name card to slip in.

Funny though, the gear level still shifts smoothly. So it can't be the plastic piece shifted forward out of alignment. Maybe something to do with the whole mechanism.

As apg39 said, try lifting the centre trim (the section that I'm lifting in the photo attached) as that would be a good place to start.

I'll have to leave it until next servicing. I'm not handy with cars. High chance of breaking something if i touch it.

Yeah, i'd just take it back to the dealer too. Can't say i've noticed the problem on my car but the cover does look pretty cheap.

Ok an update on this.

The dealer changed the whole plastic centre piece and put it back into alignment.

Also created some new scratches in the process.

And the worst part is now there's some rattling sound coming from under.

Mine has this gap too but it's not as bad as the OP's. Not fussed.

Talk about a thread revival :lol:

Yeah, my Sportivo had a gap that was about 2/3 of the OP's. Wasn't fussed either. I wasn't paying for a car that had to be absolutely perfect in it's interior panel clearances.

Yeah come to think of it, it is a a bit random, but I was searching through the Aurion section and came across this thread :)

I just hope in the future, Toyota never ever never ever never EVER use hard plastic in their cars ever again. What ever happened to the soft foamy plastics? <_<

I remember my 1997 camry was quiet as anything. No creaks or squeaks at all.

Production efficiencies. It is cheaper to do things like they are now instead of that foam/vinyl wrapped plastic stuff you are referring to. Companies like to save money where they can.

Such a stupid thing to do. I been in brand new Audi's and everything you touch feels so soft and smooth. None of this hard plastic crap.

The Audi's have that nice smooth plastic grippy feel to everything. So good :P

But those are $130,000 cars :lol:
