INTERIOR REPAIRS Page1
I had a interior trim piece that was dented up pretty bad. About 5-7 years
ago, I remember trying to remove it and bending it in the process. I wasn't to
kind on my mr2 back then. So someone from the MR2 forum was parting out his vehicle,
and I decided buy the piece from him. It was in very good condition, with just a
slight scratch that was easily removed with Simple Green. Here's a few pics of
the new piece, and it compared to the old one. Finally, it installed in the car.
I also replaced the original Interior Light Lens with a new one from the
local Toyota dealer. I was expecting a huge price tag when I asked the dealer,
but it was only 6 bucks. He had one in stock, so picked one up. This is list
price, so I'm sure you can find it cheaper.

Here you can see my old one and how dirty and yellow it has turned.
As many of you MKIers know, the door triangle pieces break over time. Finding
old ones in a junkyard that aren't broke is a very difficult task. And gluing
them back on is only a temporary solution. Just outta curiousity I decided to
call up my favorite Toyota dealer, and inquire about the cost. Being ready to
hear some outrageous price, he came back with me with a list price of only $11
each! Cost to me was only $14 for the pair! Maybe I shoulda ordered a second
set, just in case these break again...
Part #s: Here's the old one, notice the broken tab...
And the new ones, with tabs in perfect shape!
Just a pic with the triangle taken off.
And the new one that snaps in perfectly. No real install instructions needed,
just put the bottom 2 tabs in first, and line up the top clip with the hole and
snap it in.
