Quick and cheap: cover those ugly screw heads - Toyota Yaris Forums

Kar98 · 03-30-2013, 05:11 PM

There's those unsightly bare screw heads inside the doorhandles. Every time I see them, it just screams "cheap".

$2.47 for a pack of two dozen at Home Depot. Just slip them on top of the screws, and the interior looks much less cheap. And while I was at it, I covered the two bare screws in the steering wheel column also.

100% of the time people can't even find the handle, let alone look for the screws.

Kar98 · 03-30-2013, 07:23 PM

I can see them ;)

i wonder how you would react if your interior looked like mine.

Or even better, Miles' Yaris.

NOW WITH LESS FUNCTIONALITY AND MORE ROAD NOISE.

... and increased engine performance, cabin space and fuel economy?

Yeah the yaris is the only car ive seen that has the screws exposed. Typically there is a plastic cap that covers them at least. Its bothered me but never enough to do anything about it.

Plenty of Toyotas through the years have had exposed screw heads. Had the same thing with a bunch of Fords I have owned as well.

Sup. I heard you guys was talkin' bout me, it's kind of hard to hear you with all my road noise, though

Nice on the screw covers. I always wondered why Toyobaru never did that. However....on the 3rd gen, they decided to be nice and give some to us :)
