The plastic screw rivets that hold the black cowling on top of the radiator (pictured below) and other components "dry out" over a period of time and become brittle (break), as I'm sure you know. Some of the smaller sizes can be found at Lowe's; however, I haven't been able to locate the 2 larger ones (radiator cowling) anywhere, including online. Besides a Lexus dealer, does anyone know the part numbers for these various screw-in rivets and a source? Thanks................

 

I had one missing and the dealer replaced it at no charge while I was in for service.

 

Are you talking about part number 90467-08155 illustrated in the attached diagram? I've never found an online discount Lexus parts seller that sells plastic trim rivets like this -- always had to get them from a Lexus dealer.

 

Have you checked with any auto parts stores? Some have a fair assortment these days. Yes, they might not be exactly the same but may be close enough.

 

How much are they from Lexus if I may ask? They cannot be that much can they?

 

Many thanks for the part number. Found them online----->here

 

I had to buy a few of these from the dealer - something like $2 a piece. I hate these fasteners, they jump out of my hand and fall into unreachable crevices or just fall and disappear like they hit antimatter.

 

I paid almost $4 a piece from my local dealer. Will def. look for an alternate source next time around!

 

Yeah, this sounds like me in the garage.
