Refitting the headlining after replacing the fabric on a Volkswagen Polo 6R requires time and patience. Before inserting the headlining into the cabin, prepare the guiding cords (PVC tape) for all the electrical connectors that will pass through the headlining: front light, mirror, sun visor, etc. This will facilitate the passage of the cables.

Insert the headlining into the cabin, taking care with the side plastics. Once positioned, thread the cables through their respective holes using the cords.

Secure the headlining with the first screws (those for the front light). Then attach the rear of the headlining using the rear clip to hold it in place before proceeding with the rest.

Refit the side plastics (A-pillars), ensuring they are carefully inserted into the seals to avoid water leaks. Adjust the seatbelt height adjuster, ensuring it clicks correctly.

Refit the sun visors, handles, and interior light. The job is complex and requires attention to detail.

If mistakes are made (e.g., fabric creases), it may be necessary to redo some parts. With patience, the result is satisfying.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
