    Anyone know the size of the clips for the apron, I've found the part # but I'm looking to see if the size is 8mm, 10mm, or whatever.

    Truck is not with me now but want to replace broken ones when I get back to it....

    I'm sure somebody around here has replaced them at some point.

    I used 8 mm ones when I bought new rubber and redid mine. Fit fine. Those 7mm should work listed above...

    They are a hair shorter in length, but they hold just fine

    Edit: no they don't. Get the OEM ones

    Hope you guys didn't order them yet, they don't hold! I'm gonna see if I can pry the little teeth out to get more of a "snap" and secure feel when I push them in but right now, not working too well at holding the aprons in place

    Finally ordered the Toyota part for it. After much confusion the correct part number for these clips is 90467-10173. Hold much better than the eBay ones

    I wish I knew that part number for the clips before. I went to a junkyard last week to pull those clips off of a wrecked '98 Tacoma single cab truck. I got the clips for the front fender apron & a pair of rubber bumpers for the glove box door for $5.00.

    What is the part number for the aprons? I just put new suspension on and the aprons or clips didn't make it.

    They're for the black plastic inner fender not the actual rubber aprons that hang around upper control arms.

    you want these:
    Part Number: 90467-10173

    What Jon said. Also, you will need two for the right side.

    thread bump/revive. Anyone happen to know the exact number of these clips required? Parts catalog says '23' required, but that seems like a lot. I'm also currently not near my truck, so I can't go look & count, but I'm about to put in an order to the dealership and wanna throw these in.
