G'day guys and girls I have had to pull my carpet out as im getting some new stuff put in, and i got no idea how to put the door foot plastics back in. they dont seem to be screwing into anything! (pic of door trim) http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk21 ... C00094.jpg What is this connector? (the blue one) http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk21 ... C00087.jpg
ok for the door trim , when the screws go down they open up the little locking tabs , so it looks like || then when u screw it goes like /\ and locks it in place so the it wont pop out turn it over and check u still have the plastic locking tabs 1 of mine was really loose and about to break so i wrapped some insulation tape around it loosely then put it back down and tightened it up and it was sweet if u want pics just ask i dont mind pulling mine up its easy as!
yeah that would be sweet only problem is all the tabs arnt there i dont think as i have tried to screw it back on and theres nothing to screw into just a bunch of holes in the metal :S
You need to get those plastic plugs replaced. Get some from a junkyard, dunno if Toyota still carries them or not. They are a PITA. That blue plug I think is for the parking brake dash light. Not 100% sure tho...
There is another option for pic #1 Use a self tapping screw and just make new holes for the plastics and screw them right into the metal....
Keep in mind drilling new holes through the foot plastics leaves the old holes exposed. The cosmetics wouldn't look that good. Minor point though; still a good option and easier. (I've never liked those plugs either.)
