With a little creative engineering I have found a way to keep it closed! I cut a piece of packing foam. Took the door off & wedged it under the console. Put the door back on & it has stayed closed for days! I hated that thing staying open.

staying open? im assuming that its broken?

nope, it's been doing this since day 1. From what I've read others are having the same problem.

Nope no pics but I just used a piece of this pink packing foam (kinda firm) probably about 1/4" thick. I can measure it when my office lets me out of this cage. I imagine cardboard would work but it would probably shift around. The foam shifted after several days. I just pulled it forward & it stopped dropping open again.

Toyota knows about this and they will fix it under warranty
that's what I did and numerous others as well. I will not settle for any-sub quality stuff from Toyota
