The more I work on my FJ, the more kinds of specialty trim fasteners I discover. During more than one of my own projects, I've had to hunt back to find someone else's unrelated modification thread that mentioned a specific fastener, to find and/or confirm a part number. No more! Here, I'll nicely catalogue every faster I meet from here on in so that I don't have to hunt around.
Click a picture of a fastener for more information about it. In no particular order:
Photos Pending
I either haven't got my hands on these fasteners yet to stage to-scale photos of them, or I haven't personally interacted with these fasteners and another forum member contributed their information.

Joining the plastic weatherstripping baseboard at the top back of the engine bay to the plastic weatherstripping baseboard on top of either front fender
Yeah, I've gone through 2 sets of these guys. Wish I'd had this idea back then because I surely hope I never have to deal with them again. I only have 1 un-broken cowl clip on hand... the only one that made it out alive.
There are two bendable clip parts - arms on the sides and a tab on the face - which can be bent to allow the clip to release. In practice, there is no access to these clips to release them so you'll be using brute force which usually destroys the clip. If the parts separate without breaking the clip, you can then release the clip and re-use it later.
Expect to break it when removing it.
Used In:
Fastening the lower, outside A-pillar cowls to the fender & body.
Could you be more specific? 7 of the 9 clips pictured so far touch the front fender somehow... (I just got done with a front fender for a snorkel install).
The front fender plastic liner that runs the length of the front wheel well and is attached to the inner fender panels. I believe two parts are needed for the clips, female and male.
Thanks.
