You should check with another dealer. I worked for Nissan/Infiniti and if something is a TSB it is different from Warranty. TSB's never had a time limit. I did tsb's on 95's and they never charged a customer(And that was in 2003).
Just saying I can see a stealership trying to charge people for things they should get for free now because they are hard up for business.

Part Name: Louver Sub-assembly, Cowl Top Ventilator

This is what they were charging me $334.35 + Labor to fix.

It's only covered under 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. If you have a 2007 or 2008 you're most likely screwed.

I'm going to shop around and see who can fix this for me for at least half. I'm not paying $500 for this nonsense.

I'll give that try. I didn't go to the dealership where I bought the car due to a time crunch. I'll take my itemized list, and at some point, go to my dealer of origin and see what they can do.

I wouldn't bother replacing the cowl unless you had the problem and were using a cabin air filter. The slightly smaller holes in the replacement cowl will help a little, but the key to keeping the airbox from getting plugged is the filter. Dust, dirt and pollen will make it through the cowl, but not through the filter.

CTScott; I find it amazing that many of the Yaris's come with no cabin filter installed.
My 2007 didn't.

No US ones do, unless the dealer installs it before pickup.

Thanks I kind of thought that.
Funny thing is my Dealer sent me a coupon for a discount on changing mine at one of my normally expected service intervals.

Mine has a cabin filter.

Did you run a cabin filter from day one?

I'm not sure from day 1, but have had it serviced a few times for-scheduled maintenance- minor, middle, and major service. I'm sure at some point it was installed.

Well, I decided to take a peek and noticed droplets of water and on the mat. Funny enough, I got a call from the dealership doing a follow up on the work done. I didn't answer my phone, so I couldn't tell them it was leaking again.

Fuck 'em. I'm not paying $500 parts and labor for whatever it needs done. I'll be giving them a call and seeing if they can fix what I paid $99 for and going to the dealership that I actually bought my car from.

Old thread but I'm going to bring it back from the dead. So I have a gutted 2008 yaris. And I have water on my passenger floor but I don't see where it would be coming from. I don't have air conditioning I deleted the AC compressor the condenser and the lines the only thing I have left is the heater core behind the dashboard. I know it's not residual water either. As I haven't had AC for over 8 to 10 years now. The only thing I'm thinking it is is from the roof rack clip where it meets the door seal. But all that is dry. I usually only happens when there's a lot of rain and I'm never in my car when that's happening. Any ideas
