leather hand brake!
i read this post from the Malaysian gentlemen; http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60686
i ordered one post haste! i forgot i ordered it, cause it took like a month to get. it arrived! the instructions are in Malaysian! (also English) i took my time and now i'm a master leather seamstress. the instructions say to use a screwdriver, but i found a better tool: it's all curvy and smooth and small. it took a wile to find a rhythm, but it took about 30 minutes. fits great! |

Looks good!
I used a large needle to tighten the threads. Btw the instructions were in Thai language. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It makes sense that you'd need to, but from the original post (I also noticed/commented in it) I didn't even realize tightening of the threads was required. Now you're off to the car wash! |

I also ordered one from Thailand a few months ago, & installed it a few weeks ago when it finally arrived on the slow boat. It actually looks (& feels) better in-person than pictures would otherwise indicate. $20 total well-spent.

I like it! Now you can add another skill onto the resume.
I've ordered some things from China off eBay that I completely forgot about until they show up a month later. Haha! I believe I have seen posts of people buying leather steering wheel covers and having to stitch the cover on themselves. |

I did my steering wheel this method. It was damn long to do.
