Hood Seal

Hood to Radiator Front Seal; anyone missing the rubber seal that attaches to the underside of the hood on 2012 4Runner?

I was cleaning the underside of the hood and noticed a rubber piece missing, almost like it had never been there.

Looked it up online (diagram) and found one:
at Larry H. Miller Toyota of Spokane
https://parts.larryhmillertoyotaspokane.com/
Part Number 53381-60140 Front Seal $5.03
Estimated Economy Shipping: $7.88
Total: $12.90
comes with fasteners that go in the square holes that were made for the part.

 

Mine's there....order one then post on the what you did to your 5th gen thread and see how many likes you get.

Seriously though looking at the quality of rubber I would not be surprised if it just deteriorated over time and a tech just ripped it off to get it out of the way.
