I was messing with mine and the bottom of it does have some movement. I don't think it should though.

 

Is the "movement" the piece flexing or is it physically sliding? If the later thats an issue if the former thats normal.

 

Flexing...most certainly flexing in place.

Just seems...strange...unnecessary...

 

I dont remember that flex on mine, Ill try and recreate this evening when home. I had mine clear bra'd too and no mention was made when installer put it on either.

 

I just checked mine and no movement whatsoever in any direction, sorry man.

 

As strange as it may sound, I was called by the dealer about scheduling my 6 month / 5000 mile service (free thanks to Toyota Service). As I write this the dealer has my car and a short list of things I want them to check out...including;
- Rear wing
- One tire consistently running higher PSI than the other three
- software version of my head-unit (basic Entune 3.0 unit currently running v1021)
- Dealer installed rear mud flaps missing at least one screw missing and they can move around some

...in addition to them doing a multi-point inspection, rotating the tires and changing the oil + filter.

I'll let you all know what they find / do.

Thank you!

 

Just an FYI they more than likely won’t change your oil the first time. My dealership wouldn’t on my 2014 had to do it myself even with me offering to pay them to do it. Have since changed my own except for the 2 free ones

Funny thing...I paid to have the oil changed at 1500 miles and I did speak to them about the changing the oil this time too...I will follow-up with them though.

 

That’s good that yours will do it. Mine flat refused. I wasn’t too keen on paying the money they wanted too but was pressed for time that day. Still did it and have ever since. Hear it’s a little more annoying with all the plastic underneath on the 8th gen.

So, I just got a call from the dealer (Simi Valley Toyota) and here's the status;

OIL & FILTER CHANGE: They resisted at first...indicating two things; 1) Toyota "recommends" that the first oil change not been done until 10,000 miles 2) You (me) only get five (5) "free" service appointments. SO...I "asked them nicely" to "burn" one of those for this visit. They agreed. (This will mean that I've had two oil / filter changes in the first 4500 miles.)

REAR SPOILER: It seems that my spoiler was INCORRECTLY installed by somebody with a Toyota emblem on their shirt. The dealer is ordering me a new spoiler and will remove the existing spoiler and install the new one.

HEAD UNIT UPDATE: I have the BASIC (bottom of the line) audio unit. The software version that I had was V1021...the dealer claimed they updated it to the new version...which one I'm uncertain of and will update you all tomorrow.

MUD FLAPS: Yep...they're installed properly...

 

The new software version in the Head Unit of the base audio is: 1022

As I recall, the upgraded devices have a TSB associated with them and their now current version is 1023.

 

OH, one more tidbit on the rear spoiler...

I was notified that the new spoiler came in...it's UNPAINTED. None of the replacement body parts are painted.

I trust somebody has the EXACT paint formula and it'll match the color on the other body parts...
