dash noise? - Toyota Yaris Forums

" I have found the sources of the noise, the small squeek is from the passanger side air vent "

We also have the noise from the same vent of the 2010 BLAZING BLUE 3 door . Coincidence

? You'll need to remove the glove box to get accesss to the vent . Then buy the foam Air Contioner Insulating Seal ( 2 1/4w " x 2 1/4" thick x 42" long ) . Then wrap it / stuff it around the hose to reinforce it between the dash and vent itself . The foam shouldn't gather moisture when in place . I have the foam , but haven't had the time to try it out . If you do try this let us know the results . That's if I don't get to it 1st .

" the round part of plastic that goes around the speedometer "

For this you'll need to pull the plastic part of dash that's to the sides of the climate control knobs and then the plastic that meets the display . Best to pull the sides by sitting on the opposite seat and pulling toward you . Be careful not to break off the plastic snaps . If I remember right the plastic piece of the dash that meets the display is screwed in . Then you'll need to remove the display unit ( screws ) . Take some black sticky back felt , cut it to size as needed , and apply to areas where the display meets the dash . The felt can be bought at WAL-MART . I had to to do the display fix not long after purchasing the 2008 sedan as new . Not a peep out of it as of yet (25,000+ miles ) . Did my best to describe the fixes and hope it helps . GOOD LUCK
