Carpet Retainer Rings (Found a Part number!)

Hey,
hope this helps some folks out. I have posted a few questions about this in the past, but I found the solution today. We have a 2007 Tacoma and a 2005 Camry. On both vehicles the retainer rings in the carpet (the ones that hold the clips in) pulled out. Till now, there wasn't much that could be done except leave it as is or zip tie the mats down or bolt them to the floor as some suggested.

I contacted World Toyota in Atlanta today and they said that Toyota now has a replacement ring kit. (Lots of people having the same problem).

The Part Number is 58297-50020
I ran to the dealer and picked up 4 (at about $5 each).

Tacoma Install
Installation on the Tacoma is REALLY easy. Pull up the door sill and reach your hand under the carpet (not as hard as it sounds). They just snap together and are much bigger than the stock ones so they shouldn't pull out again. Total install time was 15-20 mins. I have a 2007 which DOESN'T have them on the passenger side. I will likely install them there too because the mat always bunches up on that side too. Piece of cake!!!

Camry Install:
These were not "approved" for the Camry, but looking at them I knew they would work. The retaining clips are the same as the Tacoma. Installation is a bit trickier, but not bad. I tried to do it the same way as the Tacoma, but the wiring is held down with a bracket under the sill that won't allow you to pull the carpet away from the side. I instead unbolted the Driver seat (4 easy bolts). The Carpet is in 2 pieces in the Camry and they join under the seat. I reached in from there and it was no problem. There is some foam backing on the carpet so you may need to just pull some of it off where the clips go to make it thin enough for the clips to snap together. I'd say it takes 30 mins with the Camry.

Again, you can bolt them or zip tie them, but this looks WAY better, is a piece of cake to install, and shouldn't pull out like the old ones!
Hope this helps out!!

Thanks man!
I'll have to go down Monday and order me some

 

Sorry Fletch...I'll try to snap a pick of them later today or this week. We are out of town. Process is really simple though.

1)Pull the Plastic Door sill piece up (Just snaps down)
2)Lift Carpet from the side (there are a few plastic clips that hold it down

3) Slide your hand under the carpet (this is probably the hardest part, but it isn't terrible.

4) Assuming the old ones are torn out like mine...just pop the new ones in (They are in 2 pieces and clip in place from top to bottom. I took a 2"x2" block of wood and placed it under the carpet so I could tap them together with a rubber hammer...just to make sure they were fully snapped in place).


That is pretty much 'it'. Not much to it.

I bought a set for our Camry too (which was a little harder to install (Had to take the driver seat out). One of the clips had a defect in the 'snap'. I just took some cyanoacrylate glue and dripped it in the hole. The thing is SOLID...not going ANYWHERE.

 

You don't know the P/N for the plastic clip by chance do you? My rings are still intact but one of the clips is gone (that attaches to the floor mat) and the other one is worn out.

 

Try 0020600801

If not...just call any Toyota Dealer with part number for the rings and they will look it up.

 

I need this part pictured here, it's the part that snaps into the floor of truck, that the cables run down through, and also that the carpet clips snap into.

This might be what Herculean is referring to.

Anyone know this part number? The are white on one side (passenger I think) and black on the other.

 

Try this...not sure if this is what you are looking for. You may be better off going to the dealer and just asking.... hard to tell which clip

No, doesn't look like it, but thanks. My only concern is what if Toyota doesn't sell this part separately....

I'll just have to run by the dealer and see I guess.

 

I'm sure they will have it. Just go to the service center and show them where it came from.

If not, your best bet would be to call a few salvage yards. I doubt that would be a high demand part and I would think that all 2005-2010 Tacomas (heck..and maybe even a 4Runner) would have the same clip.

 

thank you for the part number!

 

Bumping this thread. I believe I have found a part number for the white square retaining clip that secures the carpet and sill plates in our trucks.

My parts guy was immensely helpful. I have 4 of these on order but I believe they are what I have been after.
