Greetings, new owner here of 2012 ES 350. I took off the three pieces of plastic top engine cover to change the air filter and check out the power steering fluid. The plastic rivets holding on those 3 pieces of engine cover are very brittle (or I'm a clutz, or both); I broke 4 of them trying to put them back in when I was done, despite watching a video on how to reset them before putting them back in. Anyway, I'd like to order some new ones. There seem to be two very similar parts: 90467-07211 and 90467-07201. I see some aftermarket compatible with 90467-07211 from Amazon. Will these work?

Thanks.

 

 

Are they useful at all for sound reduction? Thinking of jettisoning mines.

 

They help reduce sound. It only takes a few minutes to remove them. Then you can run your own experiment.

 

I junked the engine covers many moons ago. They trap heat and prevent spotting potential issues in plain sight. Junk them, I say.
