TOYOTA 90467-05138 Bumper Retainer Clip

The genuine OEM Toyota 90467-05138 bumper clip (plastic retainer clip) is a premium-quality factory fastener designed for the secure, vibration-free, and precise mounting of various vehicle body and trim components.

This plastic clip plays a crucial role in securely fastening bumpers, fender liners, engine splash shields/undertrays, and other exterior and interior plastic trim pieces. It ensures that panels remain firmly in place even at high speeds or on rough road surfaces, preventing rattling and unwanted vibrations caused by oncoming airflow.

Technical Specifications and Features:

• Material: High-grade, automotive-grade polyamide (nylon) or POM, offering excellent wear resistance as well as high thermal and chemical resistance.
• Design: Push-type retaining mechanism allowing for quick, firm installation with minimal tool usage.
• Resistance: Outstanding UV resistance, preventing premature material aging and discoloration.
• Color: Black.

Signs of Clip Wear or Failure:

• Material Fatigue and Brittleness: Due to environmental exposure (temperature fluctuations, frost, UV radiation), the plastic eventually loses its elasticity and becomes brittle.
• Mechanical Damage: Retaining tabs can snap during body panel disassembly or due to physical impact (e.g., curb impacts).
• Loosening: If the clip's clamping force diminishes, panels begin to rattle or shift out of alignment, potentially compromising vehicle aerodynamics and component protection.

Because plastic clips are frequently damaged or lose their tension during maintenance and repair procedures (such as bumper removal), using new genuine OEM clips upon reassembly is recommended to ensure proper, secure fitment.
