2012 Yaris gripes

[matti]

I recently posted a question in regard to the scuffing of the door panel plastic. Someone recommended Turtle Wax F21 protectant as a way to protect from the scuffs. I put it on this weekend and it really helped a lot. It was about $5 at my local auto supply store.

On my 2012 2-door, every time I shut the driver's side door, I think the glass slides down just a bit and I can hear it rattle. That bugs me a bit.

FWIW, I LOVE the design of the tail lights.

The door shouldn't make any noises when closed, take it in and have the regulator bolts checked.

I have hand-crank windows: does that make a difference? When I shut the door, I can hear the glass rattling slightly. After shutting the door, I can see that the hand crank has rotated slightly, allowing the glass to slide down just a bit.

Hi there. Just wanted to give a quick update on my driver's side window (hand crank) rattle/movement in the 2012 Yaris L. I had it in for the 5k service today and they checked it out. They said they couldn't really see what was wrong, but they did order a new window regulator, which I'll get installed in about two weeks. I appreciate my dealer's good service so far.

The interior panels of my L are rough, very rough. I haven't scratched them yet, but they do a good job of removing the outer layers of any skin that rubs against it. The result is smears of dead skin cells all over the door. It is kind of gross when you really think about it. Windex wipes off the cells and leaves no trace.

I also found that the interior panels on the 2012 Yaris tended to mark VERY easily. Thanks to a tip from this website, I put on one application of Turtle Was F21, which helped immensely.
