Hazard light caved in after pressing it. - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I hardly ever push the hazard lights button and today I had to pull over on the side of the street and since it was dark decided to push it. Well after pushing it, it caved in. I was shocked! I hardly ever push that damn button! Well I spent a significant amount of time trying not to get it out but to try to turn the lights off. I was finally able to push the button and turn them off. My 07 Camry just reached 36,837 miles so the warranty just expired URGG!! Does anyone know how to remove the vents to get that button back in its place? It looks really complicated because I will most likely have to remove the radio. Does anyone have any pictures or anything they can share with me?

u just pop out the vents. pull on it, they're attached by clips. my hazard buttons did that too

Although I don't have a 6th generation Camry, it should be a very easy job. The vent is held on by seven clips. Take some tape and tape the flathead screwdriver in order to prevent scratches and pry out the vent.

do what Raymond said.

Stop working out too. That should help Mr. Universe.

Thanks guys, should I just use tape to over the flathead? I feel as if that will not be enough to prevent damage. I have not done it yet for that reason. Thanks so much for the pictures by the way. That will be easier for me to locate the clips.

try a thin microfiber towel over the flathead, that should prevent damage decently

Try wrapping the flat head with painter's tape. It should help.

This happened to me too...I just pulled the vent out, pushed it back in the clip. Toyota needs to redesign that.

On my mirror button the side adjustor button (left Right) caved into the switch.

u can also use your fingers to get the vent out. thats what i did the one time i had my navi out. just play around and you should get it out without damage. unless you have huge fingers.
