Sticker on Rocker Panel? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Kaeon · 08-21-2007, 10:19 PM

I have a BSP 07 Yaris Hatch and when I look at back end of the car in front of the back wheels on the rocker panel I guess. There is a color matched looking sticker type deal? Is this for shipping purpose or is it supposed to be there? Its hard for me to explain what it is.

i think there's another thread that talks about this. i'm not sure, but i think they said it could be part of the cold-weather package.

it is to gaurd against rock chips, our shit ass paint needs all the help it can get

Search for "paint AND problems" and you will find many complaining (I have yet to see any issues):

Here is one such thread:

The paint job on my Yari is excellent.
However, i think a lot of cars have similar issues with their paint sooner or later. In my opinion i think it all comes down to how you (the owner) maintain the appearance on a daily basis; also, it may depend on the environment around you- whether you live in a place w/ lots of gravel and/or dirt etc etc.
