Jack Cargo Cover...?

[MeBe4running]

So I did a SEARCH to see if anyone had had any issues with their Jack Cargo Cover coming off. It appears nobody has as of yet.

Mine is coming off regularly and quite frankly driving me nuts! So I wonder if any of you can brainstorm for an "aftermarket solution'? I don't want to replace it in fear of it happening again, which I don't doubt it will.

Here is some pic's:


Thanks In Advance!

Just a thought/shot in the dark:

Is there anything that might be blocking the clips from snapping into place?

No, but good question. It's loose.. Like there isn't enough tension in the plastic clips to hold it there. Needless to say I'm getting to the stage where i'm going to put hinges and a hasp of some sort on the dam thing!

Well, mine does too but then it seems fine. Have not given it much thought though....

Are you still under warranty?

Sadly not... But like your thinking though!

Carefully!! heat the clips with a torch, did I say carefully?, and bend them back into place so they provide more tension. Heat and hold until cool. It'll work!

The funny part about this threat hackman is that when I first read the original question I said to myself "this sounds like an antman job" and sure as **** I get to the bottom and there it is......

Perfecto, I will give that a go. Makes sense to me to have done that, however ones needs the Antman to tell me. Cheers man, sure grateful!

No prob! Sure hope it works out for you, or we brainstorm...

rather than a torch, wouldnt a heat gun be a safer choice?

Safer, but harder to concentrate the heat only where you need it without risking melting something else...

Torch is a bit overkill for that very small area, bic lighter will do just fine.

I might end the war right now by saying this, but I think your flame is bigger then my flame but my flame has better aim. :lasercannon:

You must still be under warranty, the 5th generation 4Runner has been available for less than 36 months.

3 years OR 36K miles, whichever comes first, right?

Mine was three years or 36,000 Miles ( whichever came first). Well, the truck has 43,000 on it.:crybaby:
