All,
I’m still loving my new-to-me ’99 Land Cruiser. In my 2-3 weeks of ownership I’ve addressed some deferred maintenance, replaced a broken tail light, ordered a replacement for the broken rear spoiler/deflector, ordered a replacement for the broken antenna, etc., etc.
There are still some annoying little items that I could use help with (please excuse my newbie ignorance if these have already been discussed into the ground):
1. The little plastic hook that holds the driver mat in place is not secured. It looks like there is a little plastic grommet that is supposed to hold it in place. I looked for the part number but failed to find it. Anyone know it or know of another fix (that doesn’t involve a staple gun)?
2. The plastic lid for the cup holder in the center console is completely detached. I have the piece but none of the screws (?) that hold it to the metal hinge are present. Any idea if this does indeed attach with screws and what kind? I looks like they screw in from underneath, which seems impossible to do without removing the entire console. Say it isn’t so.
3. Anyone ever replace the nets that serve as the front seat back pockets? Mine are coming apart quite alarmingly. I looked for a separate part number for these and didn’t see one. In fact, I can’t even tell if they are detachable.
4. The owner’s manual indicates that the 3rd row seats have covers that you can place over the anchor points when the seats are folded away. Mine are missing. Are these even available separately? I looked for the part number but failed to find it. Anyone know it?
5. The front bumper has two holes that look like they should accept a license plate. However, they are an inch or two too far apart for a standard US plate. Is a bracket or something else required to mount a front plate? I looked on the parts sites and didn’t see one.
Sorry to bit all over the place with these, but this is the collection of little things that are bugging me! Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I'm with trunk. Drill the plate. Much easier and less permanent.
