2004 Is300 Hood Prop Retainer Clip - Suggestions For Universal Replace

[whulu42]

OEM is $40. Universal items at $1.99 - I just can't find one to work with the 3/8inch hole left by taking out the original. Anyone have any low cost solutions to the OEM $40 piece of plastic? (this clip fastens to the inside of the hood and holds the "hood prop" to the hood, when the the hood is closed)

Thanks

I'm not sure what you're referring to. got any pictures?

be creative. think outside the box....show a picture of universal and how it is supposed to be attached.....pictures are worth a thousand words
