Interior Swap?

[A1phazu1u]

Has anyone ever swapped a yaris sedan interior/dash for a yaris hatchback interior/dash? Or vice versa? if so what problems did you encounter? I really like the interior of the hatchback way more than i like my sedans interior, mainly because of the extra storage compartments.

I think it would be pretty difficult to do. For the dash for instance, even the metal pipe that all of the dash components mount to has different brackets, so not just the plastic, but also that assembly would have to be changed. Also, the sedan has a different connector to the cluster, so that would need to be changed out as well.

Just from looking at the differences, i think it may be possible. anyone know where i can find a junked yaris hb in southern california? i Would love to give it a shot. http://l.yimg.com/dv/izp/toyota_yaris_sedan_4_spd_at_2009_dashboard_dashboa rd.jpg

Not to say you can't do it but you should listen to CTScott he might be one of the most knowledgeable people on here but if you get it to work great for you

Too bad you're on the other coast. I have the main structure of the upper and lower halves sitting in my garage from Crashy.

i have an 07 s without the power package, and it came with a biege interior:mad: i feel like i got jipped, but the price was good and now i can mod the crap out of it.

Would you be willing to sell me the pieces? i'm willing to pay for shipping and whatever you think is a reasonable price. give me an estimate.

Im planning on doing a rit dye mod soon, probably gonna die all the pieces black. And i also just bought some upholstery paint. i hope it ends up looking well.

If I'm not mistaken but weren't the two yarii (Vitz and Belta) made by two different designers?
What are the odds that the measurements along with the correct mounts will just be a simple swap?

I mean back in '07 people were asking if the sedan cluster fit the LB cluster, the answer was no due to different size. I'm pretty sure it's the same with the dash. When sitting in a sedan(I drive a LB), the front dash looks wider and longer then the LB. However my depth perception may have been thrown off with other instruments in the sedan

Perhaps someone can give you measurements. From what I visually compared, I don't see the swap be an exact swap and some customization will be needed.

Here is a picture of the two parts. The majority of the small trim pieces were sold separately, so these are really just the main parts. The passenger airbag was popped on the upper assembly as well. Because of the size of the parts shipping is expensive. I just ran the boxed size through UPS and even with the discount that I get with them, shipping comes out to $102. If you are interested in experimenting with them, I'd be willing to let them go for just the cost of shipping.

In regards to the question of size difference, I took a couple of measurements. The overall width (at the widest point) of the upper dash is 53". The dimension between the two bottom mounting screw holes for the lower portion is also 53".

Alright, I'll probably Take the measurements today to see how wide it is in my sedan dash is. I won't be able to do anything until Friday evening, but ill keep you updated.

I just took a measurement of the dash in my car at the widest point. with the doors open, from about cup holder to cupholder, it was about 53" on the dot. same with the bottom part. but near the top around where the windsheild is its about 51, give or take a half inch.

I've been doing some research and looking at pictures of people modding their consoles/ opening them up. from what i can see, underneath the dash is almost the exact same layout. I'm more than willing to give this a shot and make a tutorial, the only reason i'm doubting that this might not work is because of the door panels, which i've already purchased.

The first thing i noticed before is that the door panels on the hb are a bit different in style and measurement. Im not too sure about measurements, i guess i'm praying it will work.

Second thing i noticed is that there is no way the hb dash will fit with sedan doors or vice versa without doing some modifications of my own, (meaning busting out my trusty dremel).

So i'm going to take you up on your offer, pm me Ct scott. I'm hoping you'll be able to help me out in finding all the replacement panels for the dash where the compartments go. In the mean time ill be changing the led's in my car, and getting familiar with all the nuts and bolts, and ill post pics up of my progress.

One more thing in regards to what you said about the connectors to the cluster. Are you talking about the Climate or the Speedo?

GOOD LUCK! :thumbsup:

Good luck man! :thumbsup: :fingerscrossed:

Just partially finished my light mod. All that's left is the Speedo. Thanks to REVNULL and his DIY! http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9857 Here are some pics. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/A1phaZu1u/100_4000.jpghttp://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/A1phaZu1u/100_4001.jpghttp://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/A1phaZu1u/100_3999.jpg
Just so you can get an idea. Pictures don't do it justice, it looks absolutely amazing in person. The blue looks almost teal in the picture, but its really a deeper color in person.

The speedometer has one different connector. The right one is identical, but the left one is larger on the Sedan (although the same number of pins are used on both and the same ones in the same positions have the same functions.
