Hello all, looking for assistance. Does anyone know the part number for the roof rear cab spoiler mounting bolts?
Dealership has no idea as it does not show up on their rear cab spoiler diagram and I would like to try and avoid buying the 500+ USD spoiler assembly just to steal the bolts from it. I am having trouble finding the bolts myself.
The best picture I could find online of a similar bolt is below, but the ones on our trucks have a much longer stud at the pilot end of the threads, probably 4-inches total length from head of bolt to pilot end. I am going to try order this bolt in the meantime and then will try a custom solution if this doesn't work.
As you can see, "Bolt with washer" is too vague a search term for our trucks. Too many results. Spoiler bolt, roof bolt, mounting bolt, all those and "with washer", etc. Tried many terms so far, but no luck.
Any suggestions on what this bolt might actually be called would also be helpful.
A picture of the bolt/stud from the backside of my spoiler is below. It is very similar to the hood scoop bolts in that the integrated washer directly below the head creates a space for the bolt to grab onto plastic trim. The spoiler bolt has a rubber washer below the integrated metal washer that seals against water intrusion from outside the cab. They are secured from inside the cab with these trippy looking flange nuts. Flange nut hex head is 10 mm. Google says the Toyota spoiler bolts are typically M6x1.0 threads although i am unsure if this is correct.
If you are wondering why I ended up here, I got it back from what I now know is a sketchy paint/body shop like this.
They suck for doing such shoddy work. My fault for trusting them with what I considered a simple job as far as the removal and reassembly of the parts for painting.
I don't have the tools nor the experience to paint vehicles yet which is why I took it to a shop. But, everywhere they touched on my truck, something was broken or missing like clips, fasteners, wire harness clips, trim pieces, rubber moldings, etc. Paint job passes the 10-foot test but is like a 7/10 if you look closely.
Lesson learned - I gotta learn to paint.
