Hey everyone! This video was supposed to be uploaded last Friday, but made the mistake of planning to upload it when I was out of town. My bad, I know in my last update video I said I wouldn't miss any more Friday uploads but oh well... Also I've been planning something pretty cool which will help elevate the videos, and I can't wait to show you all soon!

@obsfreak8358 Год назад

So many corolla’s have this exact problem that I thought that there was never a door there in the first place 🤣

@ChrisPBolsak 2 года назад

my hinges never broke, it was actually my door itself, surprisingly.

@WillChang 2 года назад

Wow yeah that is surprising, the hinges are the definite weak point for these doors!

@ThriftyAV Год назад

Thanks for the link to the kit. I have been doorless for about a decade.

@tf7274 2 года назад

I recessed some magnets in the box and the door on both drawers...so they close well, and stay closed and don't feel like a piece of Tupperware...

This is clever af I may try this!!

@veroniicamars 2 года назад

Mine recently broke. But only on one side. I was looking all over for videos on how to fix this but since i couldnt find any, at the time, i just decided to mess with it one day. So I took out the metal clip and now it opens and closes like it never needed that crap in the first place but i'm sure once the other side breaks its going to fall off and i'll be back to this video lol

Thank you for putting up this video, it is helpful! I do want to politely suggest the music was hard to take, it had an 80's porno vibe.

My flap broke but, now I like it because my phone fits nicely in there.

@knowklelowbody7505 Месяц назад

Nice fix! Mine came off while I was installing my new headunit, so I just decided to mount the microphone that came with it in the cubbyspace and leave it alone :P

How do the hinge go on the bottom bottom door of the console door

@Seriousgreeen 9 месяцев назад

is it possible to replace the door without removing the while center console?

@eliteskylite5568 Год назад

My issue is the drawer underneath the one you’re fixing is loose, how would i fix this? It opens by itself when the car moves too much.

@WillChang Год назад

I believe the issue there would be the spring that's supposed to be attached to that door, some people have fixed theirs with magnets or putting a bit of weight in it if you can't find a replacement spring

@JC_Cruz561 2 года назад

Awesome video! I actually bought my Corolla 3 years ago and have been looking to get this fix also as mine didn't have the door either. Just purchased it and can't wait for it to arrive and I'll be installing it. I also have the same issue with the bottom door where it just opens up when shifting (LOL). Do they sell a kit to repair that also like just the springs? Thanks for the instructional videos, they are great.

@WillChang 2 года назад

Awesome, glad this video helped! I'm not totally sure if there's just springs for sale, I'll search around too since I do need them but I have my doubts that anyone's selling them. Might have to resort to finding something at the junkyard

@JC_Cruz561 2 года назад

Unfortunately, this is a common issue with this platform. I've been going to the junkyards trying to find one with a good door but all were missing. I did just look into Dorman products page and they have the center console hinge repair kit with just the brackets, screws, and the springs no door. So this might work, part number is 924-450. I may get it and see if this is it for the bottom door

@blisterbrain Год назад

I guarantee you still have the spring. Finding it is the problem! Think about it. When the plastic breaks, and the spring falls out, where's it going to go? It's in there somewhere! I found mine, and was able to sort of fix it with a bunch of glue. It's not quite right, but at least it stays closed.

Thanks for the education bro

@raymondsteinberg586 Год назад

Thanks Will!

@R121973 Год назад

Great video,I'll buy it for mine,for the lower one I dropped 40 pennies in it,it keeps closed...

@WillChang Год назад

Makes sense, more weight means more force for the bottom door to open!

@raymondperez3553 2 года назад

On My Corolla The Plastic Piece Broke And The Plastic Piece Behind The Door Broke Off Half Way but My Hinges Are Still Good?.. I Checked At The Dealer for A Replacement And They Said I would Have To Replace the Whole thing, The Price They Quoted Me Was $ 250.00 I Said No Way!!

@WillChang 2 года назад

I'm glad you said no to the dealer fixing it, even that whole panel is absolutely not worth $250. The door in the kit I used might work since your hinges are still okay, I imagine the new door would work with the old hinges but I can't guarantee anything

Good job and video 😊

@EMENIKEP Год назад

Hi Will, I need a first car pretty soon. Can I still go for this or there's a better option?

@WillChang Год назад

I still believe these cars are great first cars, but there’s plenty of other cars to choose from as well! I think reliability should be near the top of the list when choosing a first car which is why I think these Corollas would be great

@Goodfellas_1833 Год назад

why didnt you show the part of installing the newbracket hinge? did you have to shorten the bracket mine is to tall to go into the area?

@WillChang Год назад

Did you mean the hinges that hold the door on? I installed the left side one at 1:11 and it's the same on the right side, they should slide in just fine but minor trimming might be needed. Let me know if this answers your question or if I misunderstood what you asked, thanks!

@Goodfellas_1833 Год назад

@@WillChang yes i see it now and my apologies...it kinda ran thru it quick with out much expalination. thank you for the video

No need to apologise, it’s all good! To be fair I didn’t exactly do a great job showing steps or explaining things in this video which is my bad

Hi Will, I have a 2008 Corolla s, I changed the engine mounts and the suspension system as steering ends and my car feels vibration inside the vehicle and vibration is felt at the rudder , What do you recommend me?

@WillChang 2 года назад

Were your replacement engine mounts OEM or aftermarket? If aftermarket, it's possible that they're firmer than they should so it'll translate more vibration to the cabin. You may feel more vibration if the engine isn't firing completely, like with worn spark plugs or worn ignition coil packs. There's a lot of different things that can cause vibration so sorry if I'm not super helpful here, hopefully this gives you somewhere to start looking!

@saider2011 2 года назад

The engine mounts are from the aftermarket, I'm going to try to change the spark plugs and coil packs

@WillChang 2 года назад

👍🏼 I’d recommend starting with just spark plugs, coil packs are not as likely to be the cause and they are a bit expensive especially if your current ones aren’t causing the issue
