Having my bonnet trim replaced. It snapped its little plastic lugs around 20,000km and flaps around at both sides now. Of course my dealer insisted that this was my fault ("ya must have got it caught on something...") but will replace it anyway to avoid the argument (this is the Alice Springs version of "the customer is always right"). I know of one other vehicle that has the same problem... anyone else?

Yep me too! Not happy about it as I only applied light pressure once day and SNAP! I haven't mentioned it to Toyota yet, but will at the next service. It is not really strong enough for the application.2010 Prado GX 3.0L TD - "Paul" - TJM XGS 40mm Lift Kit, Firestone Coilrite Airbags, 5000kg Rated Front Recovery Points, Sure Power Battery Isolator and Dual Battery Setup, Airtec Snorkel, HID High Beam Headlights.

Replaced today under warranty. Staff today commented that it is a very common issue so the guy I spoke to last week was just ignorant. Thanks folks for your contribution.150 D4D GX with big tyres, TPMS, Tracklander, GME, Safari breathing straw & super soft squishy custom rear springs.Comment
