I checked my Scion 2004 pre-delivery service sheet.. under section e, it says 02 Install rubber body plugs...

Is it important that they do this since they obviously didn't???

Default What to do...

If you want...Peek under your car in front of the rear wheels (behind where you have to put the jack for the rear) and you will see an oval shaped hole for the plug. One on each side.

I might be wrong on this ? Under the hood, actually on the hood when you open it, there are 2 round holes, would these plugs fit those holes ?

Yes, let us know where they are supposed to go (not where they could go).

E02 Install rubber body plugs
Install the rubber plugs (stored in glove box) into rear torque box holes.

Not sure what E02 means, but thanks for the info. Could you explain where these rear torque box holes are and how to find them?

Thanks,
Dylan

Hey I didn't get any rubber plugs, This isn't fair, did I get ripped of or something. I want what everyone else is getting.

Oh well, I guess they are just plugs I probably never would have used them. Plus with those sitting in the glove box, thatwould have just been extra dead weight I dont need in my car.

I've got the plugs from my glove box too. My dealer said they installed another set of plugs prepping the car, and the glove box pair are just spares. I'll peek underneath and make sure they are there. You definitely want to make sure your plugs are in the torque box (unibody chasssis members) holes, to keep dirt, water, road salt, etc. from accumulating inside the torque box members and possibly leading to future corrosion.

the reason the plugs aren't in when the car comes in, is because that is where the car gets jacked down on the transporter on the way to the dealership. you should have the plugs in so water and dirt don't get it there.

Might even make it even MORE aerodynamic! ZZZZZzzzzoooooooom!

Or, just prevent corrosion.
