    If it bothers you replace it. My switch plate failed and the switches sunk down, I found the part. And it’s like it never happened

    Half the time I order something, Toyota's crayon schematic drawings leave me wondering until I open the package.

    Yeah, those "artists renderings" in the parts lists aren't known for their accuracy.

    And Toyota parts deal has it for $10.00 cheaper as well as having an actual picture.:thumbsup:
