Cowl vent screw clips

[jfhfj]

I'm working on replacing the cowl vent with a solid stainless version from SOR but the old clips are broken and had much larger screws. I'm not sure if that is from PO or OEM but the new stainless screws I got from SOR won't work.

Any idea where I can get some new screw clips (or whatever they are called)?

What is the best way to find/order Toyota OEM parts? Sorry for the basic questions, I'm pretty new to this.

No worries, there are a few vendors on Mud. I have an account set up with my local dealer but depending on the dealer in your area can be hit or miss. Some use Toyotapartsdeal.com or Amayama.com.

There are a surprising number of parts still available from Toyota that if you can get a discount are not much more expensive than aftermarket. I like my local dealer because I save on shipping. Being close to completion on a frame off that has a fairly large parts bill, shipping has been an area that can drive up costs substantially.
