Flap to be replaced/fixed

[hu55si]

Hey guys

Not sure exactly what this one is called but its the flap under the aircon controls. Have a look at the pics but it seems to have snapped or broken and wont close.

How do I go about getting it fixed? What needs to be replaced?

Cheers

You can either try glue it to keep it holding and working or yo have to buy a whole new fascia which isnt worth it.

hey mate..

I have the same problem as u also. i just glued mind together cos i dont really used. =D

its not worth buying a new one.

its a couple of hundred bucks if u head down to toyota for a new one ..... best way is disconnect the spring loading mechanism and put some velcro strip down the sides and a really thin one across the top ...... u will need to put some strong hold glue on the back of the velcro strips for it to stick permanently as the standard glue wont hold over time with heat / sun and u opening and closing it.

Same thing happened to mine just used a bit of apoxy and it seems to befine really depends if and where it has snaped

If you had wanted to replace it there was one on ebay not too sure if it has already finished i think it was up to $120 but not sure if its finished

Had the same problem with mine..

Went to he wreckers and got a good facia without snapped prongs that hold the flap on and a spring and problem solved..

Cost me $20

same thing happened to me last week, used some super glue on the joint and now it seems normal again!

Got a brand new one from toyota today for $150, but it's plain silver without the little check pattern in it... Will take it back Monday and swap it for the correct one...

Was going to buy a wrecker one but for $150 would prefer to go the brand new one :)

Pre-facelift fascia is $150, facelift is $280 lol...

I just took the spring out and cut some velcro strips, all fixed now :)

If anyone wants a fascia to suit a non sportivo corolla with the plain black I have one with a repaired flap :)
