Default The dealer messed up the plastic screws under the hood

Hi all, I am new,
I just came back from an oil change from the dealer and I opened the hood and the round buttons are all lose, they come off very easily. What is the part number to replace these plastic buttons that secures all covers on top of engine? Is there like a diagram with all parts numbers? Thanks in advance.

I believe you are looking for this. I assume the clip is the same as the previous generation cars.

Register on sewell lexus and you can get for a discount.

Since the dealer messed up, they should replace it free of charge. The part number is 9046707211.

Actually the screws need to engage manually by pushing the tip towards the head while being squeezed. Maybe the technician forgot this step and simply put the screws back into where they were. So in other words, the screws are not broken and you just got a sloppy job.

In all fairness, it is easy to disengage one or two screws accidentally after the technician put them back if no final check is performed prior to closing the hood.

If they are really broken, take your car back to the dealership and have them replaced out of goodwill. Otherwise, kindly point the issue out to the dealership if you will be going to this dealership for service again.

Unless it's a Canadian specification car, they want the car to come in service at 1000 km, then the regular intervals start.

In a way it's can be a good thing, since there could be metal shards in there when the car is still being broken in. Get those out of the way.

Agreed. These clips are a dime a dozen for them - just go back and show them what they've missed or broken.

You might just need to put them back on properly. They're probably not broken at all.

Do you have a photo?
