When I was waxing my Yaris LB, I noticed that the front Toyota badge was a bit loose, it shimmies a bit. It's not in any jeopardy of falling off, but it's not rock solid. How are yours? I looked under the hood to see if I could find a bolt to tighten, but it's not accessable. Any thoughts?

Mine is too. It's been that way for a while, but I didn't really bother noticing it until after I hit the back of someone in the winter. I don't think it's going anywhere. Unless it's crooked or incredibly loose, I think you're fine. Mine's been alright for a while.

Mines is loose also with only 300+ miles on it. I believe they are loose like that from the factory.

Mine was loose after the body shop rebuilt the front of my car. I complained, they fixed. :wink:

I stopped by the dealership today and the guy said that it shouldn't be loose. He's going to take a look next week to see if he can tighten it; otherwise, he's going to order a new one.

Took it back to the dealer on Monday and they replaced the badge; now it's nice and tight.

Just take it off :)

I plan on removing the Toyota, Yaris, and the dealer "Metro" badges so it's just the Toyota emblem on the LB.

I hate those badges!!
