Gx470 AC Dash Bezel (1 Viewer)

[dahccpa]

What’s up y’all. Looking for some input/help. The driver side dash a/c woodgrain bezel on my ‘07 GX wiggles and pops out of its place in the dash due to the clips being broken off. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a way to just replace the clips on this piece or does the entire bezel need to be replaced? Or is there another easy solve available? Thanks everyone!
Here’s a pic of the part I’m referring to:

Mine are broken at a few of the clips. I used double sided tape to keep the bezel secured. They are expensive to replace.

I was thinking about using double sided tape but couldn’t figure out a good place to put it on the back side. Does it work ok for you? You’re right, the bezel is ridiculously expensive to replace. Thx.

Order silver Prado vents for around $90 each vs the insane Lexus part

I like the idea but does it look strange having those trim pieces silver and the rest of the interior trim piece in wood?

3M wrap the rest to match! Or order all new Prado panels in silver

Look for flat spots on the dash like at the very top. I also added tape around the broken clips. Wipe both sides down with alcohol and apply the 3m double sided tape. Install and hold it down for a few seconds. It's worked well enough for me. I would switch to the silver Prado ones and wrap the rest of the woodgrain if mine were completely broken. The steering wheel would be the difficult part.

Yea I love the idea of going to all silver but there is something nostalgic about the classic woodgrain look of the 470.

Anyone have a link or pictures of the silver Prado replacements? I'd like to replace these as well as the woodgrain trim where the shifter is. Trashed mine when replacing the airbag/shock control with the coin holder pocket.

Hey Dan - Any idea on part numbers? Found (I think) on Partsouq but looks like there are two options and don't want to order wrong parts
