Prius Hatch Release Switch Cover

youmagine

My trusty 2007 Prius developed a notorious rotten rubber covering on the hatch release, rendering it nearly impossible to open in cold weather. I disassembled the entire thing, created an intricate model of its components, then designed and printed a durable TPU cover that fits like a glove. Fortunately, it works flawlessly, but since it doesn't seal water tight, I'll likely need to apply some gasket sealer around the edges when the warmer weather sets in. The real test will be how well this TPU holds up against UV exposure and the elements.
