Broken side panel

[heartbroken]

Good morning and happy easter to everyone. Last night my boyfriend and I got into a fight and out of anger, he broke the plastic surrounding the switches on the driver's side door. Thankfully, all the switches still work! It doesn't look bad at all and that piece looks like it can be easily replaced. I was wondering if anyone knows how I can fix it (I don't mind gluing it back), or where I can order the part? I would rather not take it to the dealership because they would charge me an arm and a leg to do a 5 minute job. =/

Replace the boyfriend first before the panel! It's hard to find replacement parts for your face. Post up on the WTB(Want to Buy) section that your looking for this part. There should be someone out there in Yarisworld that has an extra one of these lying around.

^ no kidding.

I think that part will not be that expensive at your dealership, maybe $20 at the most?

Before you replace the boyfriend, make him replace the panel!

You could try gluing it back together, but why should you have to put up with am obviously repaired part that was broken because he can't control his anger? It will be a valuable lesson to him that his actions have consequences, and he will be held responsible...

LOL! Yes I dumped him last night after he did that. I was able to find the manual on the forum and I popped off the face plate. :) Seriously only took 5 minutes. Now that I know the formal name for it (front armrest base panel upper) I will definitely ask in that section of the forum if anyone has one.

Thank you. :w00t:

Oh really? Maybe I should do that then...hmmm..

Naw...he's one of those baby types that would grovel at my feet to take him back the first second I would see him. I want to avoid that. lol I am going to glue it back temporarily until I can find a part.

[RedRide]

Yeah, it's only about $20

good for you.

As a positive outcome of this fight, you are now on YW

[MadMax]

Heck, if it will keep you from talking to the idiot again (even just to get him to pay for the damage), I'd gladly toss in $5 towards a new panel!

Smart move dumping him, actions like that are usually indicators of bigger issues that will manifest themselves down the road. Getting mad is one thing, taking it out on inanimate objects is another...

[swidd]

....and on a Yaris, a WHOLE other thing!

[swidd]

Seriously, as the Yaris is such a cute car, violence against a Yaris is really like violence against a dog or a cat.

[Palmer812]

Good idea, I'll throw in $5 also.

[10DG22]

Sorry about your situation. I'm sure that part is cheap from the dealer.

Aww you both are so sweet. Thank you, but I think I can live with paying $20. ^^ Yes I totally agree. Thank God it was the car and not me.

I am going to call them tomorrow to order the part since they are closed today. I hope that it is. :)

He musta hit that thing REAL hard. That plastic is pretty sturdy.
He's a real animal, be careful.
I hate people like that....:mad:
I hope he never hits a girl like that!:thumbdown:

[DFA]

Holy crap, you know how many times I've been mad (at traffic, mostly) and taken it out on the plastic panels?
I've never even made a single dent in one of them. Ho ly crap.

good riddance, and welcome to YW

So true!:drinking:If someone hit my car out of anger...:evil::flame::slice::burnrubber:

[MadMax]

So, did ya call the dealership yet for a price? I'm still willing to throw in $5 to help defray the cost...

[smell my finger]

Don't feel to bad. My ex girlfriend threw a log at my driver door a year ago, still need to get it fixed. Wish mine was only a broken side panel. =-(

Aww thank you! If you know anyone else who has totaled their yaris, or selling the part that would be great. :D

I know he is a jerk. lol big tough man? No way. xDDD

No, not yet. I was going to have my brother go do it for me. I don't understand how the parts department works at the dealership in my area. I usually make the trip down to the dealership 2 towns down because they're super nice.
Thank you for the offer though! I got it. :)

O_O!!!

[ddongbap]

Lol, everyone is so one sided about this fight.

[thewifesyaris]

Lol, everyone is so one sided about this fight.

What other side is there to be on?

If it was her getting struck by a fist, I would trow in the price of the panel then buy a ticket to her location to show him what it feels like to be on the losing side of a fist fight. I don't believe in violence, much less beating a woman. Sign of a coward and a POS.

This is one of those duh moments where you realize that, well, thank god it was the car and not you thing.

What is that paypal?
