Hi everyone!

I am new here. But I am watching a lot of postings from you for a long time.

Now, I have got a problem with my 2009 yaris (vitz).

There are a "big" plastic noise while driveing.
I got it located under/beside the drivers airvent.
And it stops when I lift/pull up the plastic in the knee-area under the steeringwheel!!

I think, it is the mount area of the dash ...

My plan is, to remove the dashboard an underlay it with "felt-sticker" or foam.

So my big question is: do I have to remove the complete dashboard?
If yes, can someone give me some kind of manual for this job? (pictures prefered :) )

Or is it possible to reach this area just by removeing the plastic parts under the steering wheel?



I would be veeery happy, if someone could give me some assistance .. :wub:

Here is the link to the repair manual. It is the 2007 version, but the dash is the same for your 2009. See page 113 of the "Air Conditioning" section:

Ah!

I knew this page before...

!!!!!!!!!! Is it so easy to remove the dash? 4 Screws? and just remove the radio before?
is it realy necessary to remove the side-airbag covers first?



Thank you guys!

Thank you guys!

It is fairly easy. Remove radio trim, radio, speedometer trim. speedometer, cup holder screws, other two screws, and the A-pillar trim.

You do have to remove the A-pillar trim (side airbag covers), because they sit on top of the dash.

hi guys,

i made it. it took about 3hours to remove the whole part, underlay it with some dam stuff and replace it again.

i found a screw in the frame Area, whitch wasnt tied ob as it should.

i think this was a reason, too.

thanks again for support!
i didnt find such a quick and helpful assistance in a nother yaris Forum before.

greetings from germany.
