Sorry, I did not try before but seems like you need to from inside because the both side of this plastic have a clip. Maybe you can try to pm the seller ?
Mine aircond, have 1 pcs broken but just leave it like this.

Can you share with us the photo of the vents where the broken clip is?

2) rm130 cathay motor HQ

Quick update: a clip holding the wiring case / cover is broken. Fixed at Toyota SC for 25.

Also the fuel consumption is around 9~10L/100KM for city drive.

Do you means the drawer ? I asked before, they say nothing loosen, the noise might be drive too fast, some normal sound in the front engine there

Also the fuel consumption is around 9~10L/100KM for city drive.
Mine is 11~12L/100KM (1L - 8~9KM) City drive 10~11L/100KM (1L - 9~10KM) City 10% Highway 90% drive

let me ask my neighbour if I see him again tonight lol...

the rattling noise is from below the glove box- not the glove box itself. Like something knocking above certain speed- Let's see if we are going for test drive again to find out..

Thanks, stay tune for your update

+Mar 17 2019, 11:32 PM-->im not an expert but all the price quoted are very expensive, borderline cutthroat. cant say much about engine leak because u need to do it anyway, but find cheaper parts.
for the suspension, why do u need to change the lower arm, if its in good condition u dont need to change it.
i however recomend u to change the strut mount, Stabilizer link, Stabilizer bush, AND ALL ABSORBER ( for this, dont change to the black colour normal kyb shock, change to kyb RS ULTRA silver colour), KYB Rs Ultra is well worth the money, probabbly can get around 600-700 for all 4 pieces.

Thousand apologies for the late reply.
If it is the same colour as the entire vent (grey), then I guess you will have to replace the entire vent. If it is the black colour piece, I have DIY before.

No problem bro
It is the grey color small side bracket, I hang there until now, stuck in with a paper to fix the position

Today my spare part shop say kyb rs ultra is very hard, but forum all say good. So how ah

+Mar 19 2019, 09:27 PM-->yes im using all four rs ultra, its very stiff, but compare to the stock skinny shock, i prefer the rs ultra, the stock shock will non stop bounce like no tomorrow because its too soft to damp the stock spring.

Is KYB UR ULTRA BOUNCY？MY spare part uncle say very bouncy compared to KYB Gas.. HELPPP

I use more for neighbourhood drive. Looking for something that lasts 5 years

+Mar 20 2019, 06:49 PM-->i think u need to first understand the difference between bouncy and bumpy.

so for avanza, if u use stock shock absorber, after u encounter a bump, yr car will will bounce 3 or 4 times(the ideal rebound is to only rebound 1 time) after the bump especially for the rear, this is the most common problem for all avanza users. This is because the the stock skinny shock absorber is too soft to damp the stock spring, hence it cannot fully catch the motion of the spring, this is call bouncy.

now as for if u use a bigger and stiffer shock absorber for the avanza, the car will no longer bounce 3 or 4 times as to compare to the stock soft shock. the car will feel more planted and stable on the move, But u at the same time, u will feel the car is much more stiffer and harder when going rough road, u will feel more impact when going bump and rough road, this is Bumpy.

for me i dont like the soft shock and bouncy feeling of the stock shock, so i change to rs ultra which i like.
