    Thanks for the reminder, Mendel! I forgot how awesome the Amaya site is
    I was actually asking about the big undercover, 51441 in this diagram:

    Buy Genuine Toyota 5141012105 (51410-12105) Cover, Engine Under, No.1. Prices, fast shipping, photos, weight - Amayama

    It looks like it is mostlybheld up by a bunch of fender clips. Seems quite inadequate
    I may have to get this jacked way up to really see what's going on.

    See the “oil change” link in my signature. It has an attached TSB that shows the engine bay under panel and its fasteners. (On a phone turn it landscape to see signatures)

    I’ve had no problems with that panel, had ours off and back at least 30 times I think. You’ve got to maintain the fasteners for sure, some tips on that there too.

    I ordered/received a complete set of the fasteners through Amayama, maybe 5 years back. It had a few fasteners with a jaw fail, so just figured to get enough for complete replacement.
