Title: 'Studs' holding front boot trim down - where to source?
Post by: StephenBennett on June 8, 2015, 06:59
Hi all

A local (non Mr T) shop replaced my '03 radiator a few weeks ago. On inspection, they appear to have have broken several of the plastic 'studs' holding down the trim around the spare wheel under the front boot.

Does anyone know what these are actually called? And where to source them?

Regards

Stephen

Do a search on the bay for Toyota trim fasteners and a whole assortment will come up
You'll get a dozen for a couple of quid
Halfords also stock an assortment but you'll get fewer for more quids

Thanks for that - now I know what they're called, it'll be easier!

Hi, I gave up with these plastic clips. I changed them to M6  stainless Allen headed bolts and used rivinuts in to to the body , looks better and easy to remove without crawling around looking for the inner part of the clip.

I got fed up trying to get the right size and decent quality off ebay and just got them from Toyota in the end, parts guy threw in a few extras for free.
