fixitnow 1 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 One of the plastic pegs that hold the pull out cover in place on my 2007 Avensis Tourer has broken so I went to Mr T to buy a replacement and the conversation went :-Me - I want a new peg for the load cover please.Mr T - Sorry they don`t supply these. The only option is to buy a new load cover.Me - How much is that ?Mr T - About £420 - I know that because somebody wanted on last week, but he decided to bodge it himself when I told him the cost.Me - Do you sell many new load covers?Mr T - No but we get lots of customers asking for the plastic pegs !!!!!!!!Come on Toyota - get real and supply these parts which obviously fail due to poor design, and let us customer have them free. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hayseed 1 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I've had a couple of goes at mending one of mine. The last time it seems to have worked. I drilled a hole through the centre of the broken bit of the peg so that I could use a long wood/self-tapping screw to gain some "grip" in the aluminium profile within the load cover. I then put some two pack putty material (from a diy shop, you mix it with your hands) in the "hole" of the porfile to give the screw some adhesion. I think I did see an old E-bay listing for a Toyota peg kit - so they may be available. It is a PITA when car manufacturers try to rip off customers for parts that break because they are not well designed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
