COOL YARIS TRICK FOR A DOLLAR...THAT's RIGHT 1 BUCK - Toyota Yaris Forums

jay cobbs · 06-12-2012, 11:15 AM

Hey Yaris lovers.....How are you today....Its Jay to jazz your day.....The trick was out of need. My wife and I just bought the nearly new 2010 SEdan and just love it. Read my other blogs in here by clicking my name . Alot of very cool info and Tips for drivers and owners about everthing. NOW THE BUCK TRICK... My daugther has a CELL PHONE I do ,and my wife does. they both have a portable game systems and need a place to charge everything. Plus a GPS, IPOD...You get the hint...STUFF when traveling. Then it dawned on me I have the perfect TECH shelf in the yaris. In front of the speedometer. Go to the dollar store

and find the rubber shelf liners, Its in house wares for us ,that dont shop there.. They come in many colors. JAZZ IT UP. Or go black like I did.

Take a sheet of binder paper and a pencil to trace the opening. Buy more than one. Support our dollar stores, they are a american goldmine of stuff. Now that you have your Cool custom TECH MAT, just place it on the shelf and load up. Makes a great charging station area. No looking all around while driving., its in front of you...Try getting that in a BMW or a LEXUS ! No gaggets right now..... USE the LINER TO STOP ALL DAYTIME OR NIGHT GLARE( from drivers lights behind you) on GAUGES.. WORKS FANTASTIC. SIMPLE KID AND FAMILY SOLUTION PROJECT. ITS A BUCK WELL SPENT. ENJOY THE TIP. [FONT="Lucida Console"]I LOVE MY YARIS MORE AND MORE EACH DAY to solve real world problems . LOVE YOURS TOO!!!!....HAPPY DRIVING.....C-YA. ITS MR. JAY HEY HEY...[

I feel every time I read one of your posts, I am reading an Info-mercial. I feel if they were reading a telepromter in thier comercials, that this is what it looked liked.

cool tip btw. Also with the extra you cut, if you have enough, place it under where the ac knobs are. That spot in front of the shifter where things like to slide around alot.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Since I was in sales for 20+ years I guess Im selling rather than Telling, the INFO. Thanks for the headsup. Any ideas on how Not to sound like a talk show host?

Thanks Mr. J

The entertainment value of your colorful posts alone
is worth more than a dollar.

MadMax · 06-12-2012, 12:00 PM

Big deal, many of us have known about this "trick" for years.

Guess what, it works great in the little storage shelf in front of the shifter too; as well as in the glove boxes...

Please try to make your posts more easily readable. Thanks!

Chuck G · 06-12-2012, 01:32 PM

I always look forward to your posts Jay!!

You want to make the space in front of your instrument cluster a storage shelf?
