Description of the problem | The contact has a 2009 toyota corolla matrix. The contact stated that after taking the back of the vehicle apart there was one vent found behind each wheel that allows small animals to get in a set up a nest. The contact found a mouse nest twice in the back of the vehicle and is worried that this can cause an accident if someone is driving and a small animal or snake comes crawling from under the seat. Updated 01/12/10. *lj the pressure relief vents have plastic grill work spacing that allows rodents to enter. The consumer removed the vents and modified the grill to 0. 5 opening versus 4x6. Updated 01/13/10.*jb |
