My Toyota badge is a bit loose.... - Toyota Yaris Forums

petesimac · 06-18-2007, 10:20 PM

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?

tell your dealer about it, maybe you can get a new car

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.

PetersRedYaris · 06-19-2007, 12:35 AM

Mine has a little bit of play in it also.

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

Nope - mine's tight.

nqd · 06-19-2007, 07:55 AM

Jerkratt · 06-19-2007, 10:45 AM

uncleyaris · 06-19-2007, 07:33 PM

It's a sign for a emblem change! I bet the back is loose too, vitz all the way!!

*Astroman* · 06-19-2007, 08:29 PM

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

both the Netz and the "T" badge do the same thing... I swaped my badges over to Netz's when she was 2 months old back in September

SebYRS · 06-19-2007, 08:39 PM

Me too

Blenjar · 06-20-2007, 03:36 AM

Not a big deal in my opinion.

I have the netz badge blackedout, its just not on atm.

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.

petesimac · 07-17-2007, 11:33 PM

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