Under the car in front of the back tires (look under the rocker, behind the pinch weld) there are a pair of slots that accept a T-hook, these are used when transporting the car, those caps fill the holes. Note the pre-deliver directions of the package that the dealer failed to follow. :laugh:

The front holes are in the fender well near the inside edge of the rear tire, but don't require plugs.

Oh, man.... I hope you did'nt drive around in the rain minus those plugs. Water will come right in through the floor. Everyone should check for these!

what happen if i don't plug it?or if the rubber boots falls off? any issue?

That is not the case, it is open to the inside of the rocker, not the inside of the car.

nothing will happen.. maybe some wind noise under certain conditions like a whistle or sound when you blow in an empty bottle. Dealer is suppose to put those in when they come off the truck. but sometimes they are missed. U can install them yourself

Damn.. I was gonna say that I have a glass floor in my garage over my basement.

I actually just typed "yaris underbody" in a google search and just clicked on "images". brought me to a cool website that has various digital art, a good bit is prius and lexus cutaways.

Haha, those plugs have been sitting in the glove box since I bought it, thought they were there as spare grommets.
Well, there in now!!

For anyone wondering what they are for - The plugs cover two holes that are used to strap the Yaris down during shipping:

I could swear I read on here somewhere that someone had water getting in due to a lack of these. That's when I checked to see if I had mine .
Sorry for the mix up, I guess....

Not from the oval ones. The wet mats issue is from the round ones under the rear floor mats not being installed.

are there space/hole infront of the rocker, where water can enter? if it's a tight hole, so better to lubricate it with wd-40 or oil to prevent that from rusting ? moisture might cause it to rust?
