Center console door issue

So I did it over the weekend.
Materials that I used were:

1. Mini ratchet
2. Standard size screw driver
3. Flat head screw driver (to remove the clips)
4. Trim remover (optional)
5. Flashlight
6. Dremel Tool

As shown in the photo, I made the cut part lower compared to Velox. Took me 3 hours total to do it.

Thank you so much @Velox003

My moms van had this issue too. I was taking the console apart and realized what a hastle that was and the risk i would be taking outweighed the reward. As i was finishing assembling it i realized that you could try open the panal inside the console (under the console door). As I pryed it open I saw a recipt and a check book and managed to pry them out through the slit. Its back to normal and fully functional

Thank you. You just saved me a few hours on the weekend and money! Here’s a visual!

Happened to me within month of buying a new Sienna 2022. First it was a credit card and I simply got a new one, but then my driver license got stuck. I got that reissued too, but decided to not sit on this anymore. Service center qouted $600 for repair. I reached out to Toyota Brand Engagement Advisors and they are not helping much either. I decided to report this issue to Better Business Bureau. Has anyone else done that? If not then I do think it would be good to do the same. Any other agencies that we can inform and complain to? While this issue may look simple, and caused by a poor engineering design, the consequences are grave. I read someone had their house keys stuck there and locked out of their home overnight! Imagine having your DL stuck there on a road trip and you get pulled over. It could be someone's life saving medicine (epipen?!) and even cause death due to this harmless, deceiving little monster sitting in our vehicles!! This should be reported to CPSC maybe? Please share what other actions you have taken to get a long term and proper solution from Toyota.
