Title: Frunk plasic retainer-clip fake-screw thingies.
Post by: househead on August 5, 2019, 22:43
Anyone know where I can find some replacement frunk plastic clips? A couple of them have gone shoddy and I know that I'll end up losing some of them. Are they a toyota thing or a general thing? Ebay is awash with these type of things but I've not nailed down the right ones.

I know I'm being picky but I'd like a stash of them in reserve!

I know them as scrivets I don't have a replacement part for them though.

I am positive someone else has an eBay link.

I have a pack somewhere. I'll confirm tomorrow if they're the right size. If they are, you're welcome to them.
I'll let you know

You can always try vehicleclips.co.uk
Not sure if they carry them but they have quite a variety, also bear in mind some of them are generic across the Toyota brand, the Avensis use a lot of the same clips.

Cheers mate, I'll give them a look-in. Never ceases to surprise me the kind of niche websites out there!

My car never had any when I bought it and never felt the need to fit any.

mine only had a couple when I got it so I also took the @Ardent "less is more" approach and removed the stragglers for uniformity
