Let customers speak for us
These are high quality seat covers that should wear as well as the originals. They closely match OEM upholstery. However, I would advise anyone who has no experience with re-upholstering auto seats to watch a YouTube video (6th gear garage) before purchase. You likely will encounter other issues with 40 year old seat frames and damaged foam cushions. It does require some basic skills, shop tools, other materials, and several hours labor to fix tired old seats. An excellent fit was achieved over original first gen 4Runner seats with 1 inch of added HD foam. I'm restoring a "very used" and tired old first gen 4Runner as a hobby project, so enjoyed doing the seat restoration myself, and saving lots of money.
I gave it a little test before painting and installing and dang, this thing is tough. I couldn't see this thing breaking ever again unless a bowling ball was dropped on it
This item, passenger side HVAC vent for 1984 Toyota pickup 4x4 looks as real and as identical to the OEM vents in the rest of the truck. I will definitely look into more purchases from this company. They had quick shipping and excellent customer service and support. I don’t usually write reviews but this place was a 100% pleasure to deal with regarding the order. When you look on eBay, the people there believe that 40+ year old Toyota are priceless. For a couple more dollars, I got a brand new replacement and fast shipping not to mention a well packed item.
It is excellent.
They are awesome

OEM-Style Rocker Panel Retainer Clips & Grommets
For 1984–1989 1st Gen Toyota 4Runner & 1984–1988 2nd Gen Toyota Pickup
These OEM-style rocker panel retainer clips & grommets are direct-fit replacements for worn, brittle, or broken factory trim fasteners used on the 1984–1989 Toyota 1st Generation 4Runner and 1984–1988 Toyota 2nd Generation Pickup rocker panels.
Factory rocker panel molding clips commonly crack with age or break during trim removal. These upgraded replacements restore secure rocker panel attachment while improving durability through modern reinforced materials and updated manufacturing methods.
Available in packs of five or ten retainer clips and grommets. Optional packs of ten rubber grommets only are also available.
Modern Reinforced Construction
Unlike original aging plastic retainers, these rocker panel clips are manufactured using PA12 nylon with fiberglass reinforcement for improved structural integrity.
The male cone grommet is produced from flexible TPU to provide a snug and secure engagement with the body panel.
Material benefits include:
-
Increased durability compared to OEM clips
-
Improved resistance to heat and aging
-
Slight flexibility to reduce cracking
-
Secure retention of rocker panel trim to body
These materials are engineered for long-term use while maintaining correct trim alignment.
OEM-Correct Fitment
Each retainer is designed to replicate original Toyota clip geometry for proper rocker molding alignment.
Installation features:
-
Direct-fit replacement
-
No modification required

Depending on rocker panel condition and vehicle mileage, minimal sanding may be required for optimal fitment.
