Crazy thing, I checked and my Scion DOES have the plastic protective case underneath, the bag just managed to squeeze in the only opening it could.
I had a long time friend drive over and remove the top belt and we spent about 4 hours ripping pieces out and bumping the engine and ripping more out. We eventually got it all :gj: I gave him $20 for his gas and time but he didn't ask for any money.
I had a talk with my car and explained about how plastic is not edible. I'm not sure if he'll remember or not. Scion xB's are the happy-go-lucky not so survival oriented type of car that just does things before thinking. Plus he's the green limited edition one and you know how the pretty ones aren't exactly bred for their intelligence.
