PN-Req: Clip that holds the rod for the rear engine lid?

gsus · 05-03-2006, 11:52 AM

The little clip that holds the rod (that holds your lid up) is broken, and the rod's rattling is annoying!!! anybody know the part # to this little piece?

Thread update: PN is 53455-17040

Not off hand but if you call your dealership they can order you a new one.

PHOENIX · 05-03-2006, 06:55 PM

yes....i just bought one for $1.10 from toyota the other day.....but im at work, and its at home, if no one answers, ill post up the number for you in about 7 hours.

gsus · 05-03-2006, 07:46 PM

sweet, yeah last time i tried going to the dealership to get this piece, they ended up giving me a small round rubber gasket for whatever reason... a part # would help me tons! if you could get that part # phoenix, it would save me alot of time at the dealership & help me get rid of that annoying rattle!

PHOENIX · 05-03-2006, 08:08 PM

no problem, give me a few hours though till i get home. Should be here when you wake up

N8s93turbo · 05-03-2006, 10:38 PM

they did have them on ebay for like 99 cent

PHOENIX · 05-04-2006, 07:38 AM

ya, they are pretty cheap, its probably the one product that toyota has that isnt way overpriced. I would pay 10 bucks for that clip, its so annoying when its broken.

Anyway.....here is the P/N

53455-17040

Now i dont know if there is a difference from the japanese number to the american number, but thats what it is here.

gsus · 05-04-2006, 10:11 AM

Tell them that you want the real list price, not their marked up price. They will of course lie to you and say that is the list price. Then you show them the online printout of the partznet page that shows the real list price.

I like to catch them. I don't put up with their ****.

PHOENIX · 05-09-2006, 10:14 PM

actually, the price for it was $.97 cents. $1.10 (Y) was the Yen price, not U.S. price.

70% is a healthy markup but its worth it.

gobluetwo · 05-10-2006, 01:29 PM

no way did i pay $3 for that thing. i called another place that took pity on my after hearing my tale of woe and outlandish behavior from their competitor and bought it for $1.44 (15% off US list price). woohoo.

Mister2.2 · 05-10-2006, 01:38 PM

My dealership charged me $9 for it and it came with 2-3 little clips... This was years and years ago... I never could figure out to get it clipped to the lid. Anyone have some up close pics on an NA lid of it hooked up? Right now I keep it behind the seat.
