2020Toyota Corolla.

I broke the 53289A top slam panel black plastic cover while putting a new horn I .

Toyota want serious mad money for a new one.

Is there anywhere I can get a cheap replacement?

ALSO, the metal bracket that the plastic clips for some panel clips into shoe the paint bubbling as if there is rust underneath it, which would not be known about unless someone like me removed the plastic panel.

Would this painted bracket be covered under the paint warranty?

Thank you.

Presumably a reliable source of info would be the provider of the warranty ?

Toyota UK's paint/surface rust warranty is 3 years. (body panels have 12 years anti-corrosion/perforation).

If it is a 2020 car & we are in 2024 ...

Try breakerlink.com I used them previously to find a hatchback for a fairly new Seat Leon.

Missing the A on the part number?

The same number is used for a lot of Toyota's.

53289-02020 seems to be the new number for the Corolla.

Although one site has 53289-12090

Thank you

Is 53289A the part number which is moulded on your broken one? Like this:

That's it .

Was also known as 53289-12090 (5328912090)

Superseded by 53289-02020 (5328902020) but there are none on eBay.co.UK or eBay.de and the postage from USA is too expensive.

Even Walmart sell it in USA. Can't seem to get it anywhere in UK.

Who'd have thunk it, had to wait for new clips to arrive before I could take it off, but turns out the code is 53289-02070 (532802070)

I glued it with CT1 and gaffer tape. I'll see how that works out before buying a new one.

Seems those are available. I thought it might be different to the US ones as their Corolla was not the same as the one sold in the UK.
