air intake clip broke...
so changing out my air filter the other day while putting the clips back in place, one broke, it broke at the base where it connects to the plastic "bucket" sinc eim assuming theres really no way to repair this, does anyone know the part number of the "bucket" ?
the clip that broke is the one with the red arrow, thanks.

Maybe a local junk yard,but look for a highlander (doubt you`d find a Lexus).Also their is an e-bay seller LKQ I think he goes by.Try that too.

There was a parts diagram I was looking at the other day, and I don't remember seeing a part number for those clamps, but it had a lot of parts numbers for other parts of the air assembly (including a lot of the parts I tossed out over the years).
It'd be interesting to see a photo of how it is broken as maybe we can come up with other ideas.
I kind of swore when I still had my OEM box something like this happened and my uncle ended up fabricating some kind of pin we put in there (had to heat up the metal pin) and then stick it through the plastic, so that the clamp could come down on it. That box is now in some dump back in Mexico.

FYI, my parts diagram shows different numbers by year. Only numbers for both top and bottom and top alone are listed on my diagram.
Top and Bottom (air cleaner assembly)
1999 17700-20080
00-02 17700-20130
Top alone (air cleaner cover)
1999 17705-20070
to 5-00 17705-20100
from 5-00 and 01-02 17705-20140
