In the trunk there is a panel that you can remove that exposes the wiring and rear windshield wiper motor. What are the inserts that attach the panel? Mine all got broken somehow and I need to know the name of those ball plug type inserts.

Thanks

 

They just call them clips. There are 12 that hold the upper side together, known as the upper back door trim, and 5 for the lower part, which is known as the back door trim board.

 

thanks. Do you know of a place online where I could purchase from instead of going to the dealership?

 

Not offhand for an individual part that small, but one of the other members here might chime in.

 

yea the dealer is selling for 3.09 a clip. kinda expensive and plus its 30 miles away.

 

Rear liftgate lower trim panel clips are $1.24 ea at newlexusparts.com. Of course they are going to get you for shipping, but it may be better than driving 30 miles each way. Check the illustration to make sure it is the right part.
You could also try irontoad.com. They won't have the part listed on the site but you can request a quote or call.

 

thanks a lot.
