My cowl has been off so long now since I was prepping my truck to be painted which took way longer than expected. Truck is finally painted and putting everything back together but I completely forget which screws are for the cowl. I do remember the 2 outside screws were different than the 3 inside ones. Much appreciated if someone could snap a pic of the cowl with your hood up showing the screws, that would be great. Thanks!

 

Paul - I can shoot you pic, but go to Post #907 in my build thread https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f199...thread-191247/

The permalink was not working for some reason, I could not link you right to the post, but that post I have the part number for the plastic cowl clips, you need 2 cowl clips, and then I think there are 3 inside screws.

 

If memory serves, the center three are screws, while the outer two are a type of two-piece push pin.

 

this is correct, the push retainers are still available form toyota for cheap, PN is in my 4runner build thread somewhere. the screws were just a JIS "phillips" button head stainless screw iirc. i can check when i get home today and get pics.

 

Thanks for the replies!
