Black clips holding the black trim in the engine compartment

[JohnnyT]

Does anyone know where to get those black plastic push clips that hold the black plastic trim that is over the radiator in the engine compartment of a v8 (and possibly a v6 also)?

I'm missing one or two.

Dealer only. I tried all the various auto parts places. They have lots of similar ones but not the size needed. I replaced 6 last week. I even looked at Lowes and Home Depot for big head screws that might work. No luck there either.

The clips cost like 3 bucks a piece....Rediculous

I think I found them on Amazon. I'll probably just use common tie wraps/zip ties.

Thanks.

It is ridiculous how much a dealer charges for those stupid things, even with my employee discount its far too much for a single clip or even a bag of them.

Its why I kept all the screws/bolts/clips/fasteners when I started removing all the stock bits off my 4Runner...

That being said... I am surprised you can't bulk buy those clips somewhere, it just seems like someone would have a ridiculous anmount of them on ebay or what not.

You know, I needed 3 of those clips one time and after some small talk with the parts guy, he just gave them to me. Gave me 4 so I had an extra. We were just BSing about the Broncos or something. Same thing happened another time when I needed floormat clips...no charge, different dealer.
It seems a little "niceness" weighs well on those part guys. I had no intention nor idea I would be getting those at no charge. A lot of people probably walk in all pissed off because something broke and have to pay an a$$load for a part. Just my experience.

9046708217 i think is the part number. Replaced all of them last year in my truck. Got them from Toyota parts cheap around 0.97 / each.
