I notice new vios 2013 dun have the rubber cover beside the front big screen and back glass too? is it normal?

the previous 2nd gen vios got all rubber cover around the front big screen and back screen?
*
i should be normal as it will be major reject without it installed un intentionally.
another safe cost technique i guess.

Did anyone here changed their stock speakers to component set upon new car arrival?

Would it void my warranty if i change it? SA advised not to take the risk. Local accessories shop said its ok since its only plug and play, same logic like HU replacement.

Any light on this?
*
it wont. there will be nothing wrong with it to change.

i think from glove box?
*
speaking about glove box, check if your 2013 vios has a small suspension on the side of it. you can see it after you open an left sidr. i mean when u open ur glove box it wont just fall. same as closing it. it feels like some resistance is there avoiding you closing it fast. camry and altis has this suspension. not my 2012 vios.

my glove box ratling noise is anoying. last friday i diy and solve the problem. but the bloody tak tak sound from under carriage is still there.

i need to find time to go to the SC to have them check... problems and repairs are only on weekdays doh.gif

initially there was creaking sound from the front shocks when i go over humps... the reported to the SC and they help me tightened something... after that this creaking sound appeared... not sure if something was over tightened? but i'm very sure its not due to the struts...
*
then the sound seems like mine. i just changed the struts nad the sound is still there. could be mounting but its quite impossible as there is nothing accept for a hard rubber bush.
you can try if the sound in louder if you turn slowly to left or right but up in a slope like a camel humb.

Hi all,
Am new here. I own the latest Toyota Vios J Spec (Reg 2013).  I’ve been driving  it for a couple of weeks now and i can firmly say that I glad to own a VIOS.  Previously I have never own or drive a VIOS before.
This is my  experience  that I would like to share
i) Although only J spec I find NVH is acceptable if not good. Especially when the engine is idling, you barely here the sound of the engine during idling. Remind me to NisSan X-Trail.
ii) Driving it around town is very pleasant, I think this is mainly due to the soft suspension, comfortable seat , very light electric steering and acceptable NVH.
iii) Sometime I do step on the gas paddle hard, and I notice that the sound of the screeming engine getting inside the cabin and the car feel like floating  when  it reach 100km/Hr. But I only do this twice, just to test. Otherwise my ride would be between 60-70km/hr  (Town area)
iv) Stereo / CD Player is nice too. Power full bass kick but lack twitter sound

Ok now I would like to ask if anybody can help me with the problem I have recently spotted with my new ride :-
1. My fuel consumption is bad. RM 50 petrol can only take me up to 200km before the yellow warning light start blinking. Maybe after blinking I can go further up 230KM. Is this normal? Because I don’t think so? What should I do? My driving pattern is I drive my car to work / no highway/ stop and go at traffic light.
2. The low fuel warning light appears blinking as the needle approach “Empty”. Ok this is normal but I notice that when I stop and park my car overnight (with fuel empty), the next day (am) when I start the car, the needle move a tad higher (1/2 a bar) and it makes the low fuel warning light stop blinking. Is my fuel gauge faulty or this is normal?
3. I notice a loud bang (tin kosong sound - remind me of shutting a VIVA door)  coming from the driver side door whenever I shut this door a little bit hard. It make me wondering if theres any parts inside the door got loosen.  Does anybody have this kind of experience too?
*
the patrol consumption gets better as it goes. i had this experience when i got my car.
try not to practise empty tank only fuel up unless no choice.
yes..you will hear tin kosong sound but not to worry. its normal. if you want it to be solid, install STP on the doors. its a kind of sound absord product.

Any idea where I can get door edge or side protector for the new vios?

The new vios does not come with door protector. I'm just afraid the car door gets dent on it caused by passengers

I have been searching around but still find it...
*
have you seen any version with the side door rubber protector on G or TRD version? if no,the chances are slim to find after market product.
