kinda late to the punch here - but Scott, could you PM me about the core supports? i cant seem to figure out a few things about them - like if the sedan and HB share the same pieces or not. i can find all 4 pieces for the sedan, but not for the HB.

As it turns out the LB and Sedan share the bottom part. The sides, if purchased complete with the headlight brackets attached, are different, but if you purchase them without the headlight brackets, then they are the same. In that case you buy the headlight brackets separately. So, for that part I cut off the wrong headlight brackets and fabricated my own (since they are a simple L-shaped piece). The top is also different, but the primary difference is two extra support tabs (that have to be removed for the liftback) and two bumper clip holes in the wrong place (which can easily be redrilled for the liftback). So, the bottom line is they top 3 parts are different, but can be easily made to work to save some serious coin. When I have a chance I will post the correct part numbers for the 4 liftback parts for you, in case you want to save the modification work to make the cheaper Sedan ones work.

oh dang, I almost hit the "buy now" button one one of those bids. i knew the bottom piece was the same, but wasn't sure about the sides, and was pretty sure the top was different.
That would explain why the drivers side side mount on mine is cut. i bet the guy who fixed it before me did the same thing. |

Sure. Now that I have the A/C equipment, I might as well get my money's worth out of it.

Well done . How'd you like to purchase our Barcelona Red sedan and turn it into a El Camino or Ranchero ?

Maybe you should open your own shop that specializes in the Yaris on the east coast . Like a walk in clinic for damaged or sick Yarii .

So, after a week with working AC, I decided that she needs the rest of the creature comforts that my 09 has, so this weekend I ordered everything needed to upgrade her to having power mirrors, power windows, power locks with remote entry, and my Scion IQ hatch opening switch mod.

CT , what do you look for in the window of the AC line to tell of a possible leak ? Would you loose it all at once or over a period of time if a slow leak . Seems fine for now . Thanks again and very nice work .

The sight glass is pretty limited. seeing liquid with bubbles running through there says that the system has at least some Freon in it. To really check it you want to check the pressure of the system, which can be done with an AC gauge set or with the Techstream tool.

Looks to have a bubble like that of a level . Did notice the plastic prongs that snap in place at the top of the radiator on the passenger side has slight play in it . They're not broke off . Should that be a concern ? Or be o.k.?

That's where the condenser snaps on the radiator. They typically snap on pretty tightly, so I would check to see if the condenser is bent or if it is simply not snapped all the way on.
