    As the title says I just broke all of the tabs on my storage cubby above my drivers side wheel well. It goes back in but I am afraid it will rattle. Are these storage cubbies the same size on all bed lengths? The only ones that I can find are for access and regular cabs. Also are they side specific?

    I'm going out on a whim and say they are all the same, for all years and body styles, and they will work on either side.

    Did they change for 2012? If you are talking about the cubby without door, older models (thru 2011) are held in place with double stick tape---no tabs??

    Mine had tabs on top and bottom along with the tape. I broke the top two tabs. I will post pics tomorrow afternoon of what they look like

    Good to know. Probably don't even need the tabs if you use quality (3M) double-sided tape.

    I broke one of mine and I secured it with a couple of pop-rivets. It worked great

    I broke mine a while ago and I fixed it by tossing it in the back seat and there it rides. I always thought about picking some 3M tape but never got around to it.

    Thanks for all the input. I am going to try some of these ideas. Sorry no pics but it seems a lot of people know about this problem.

    Lost one awhile back and bought a couple replacements. Screwed them in to prevent any more loss. I have an extra if you want to buy it. Toyota price $100.

    This one has locking clips, two on the top and two on the bottom. It's appears this one has never been installed.
