Radiator Cover Clips Replacement

[sunnah]

My 4Runner doesn’t seem to have the press down and open radiator clips. I have to force them open and basically all of them broke and now I have to replace them. But I would like to replace them with the ones I’ve seen that people just press down and it unlocks. Can someone give me the OEM part number so I may order the radiator clips thank you.

This style lasts longer. They are not necessarily intended to work more than once. These I have used on everything and never had an issue removing and replacing.

Thank you. This looks like very similar to what I have already and they actually all broke when taking them out. Perhaps I'm not doing it correctly can you outline how to remove them and put them on exactly. Thank you.

I replaced the OEM ones with these from Amazon. They’re not push to release but I think they work better in this application.

The original ones were breaking pretty regularly. At first, I was replacing with Toyota parts but started looking for a cheaper alternative and found these.

Edit: Another option that’s in stock. Decent reviews.

Measure the holes with some calipers and order the right sixe (mm) from Amazon with the fork tool. Bag of 100+ is cheap enough.
You can replace them each time if needed.

BTW, one pulls the center pin up as far as it will go first to unlock it, then use a forked tool to pry the complete retainer out of the hole.

Just a interesting side note, the OEM pins don't pull the center up to release, you actually push them down to unlock em. Caught me off guard at first which caused me to break a couple before I learned the trick. Thats why I ended up buying extras. Center pin flush with the top of the pin is locked, pushed down a click passed that is unlocked.
