You didn’t show how it was removed. You pointed at the 3 screws that are obvious. What are the other fasteners that are holding it tight after the screws are out.
My initial thought on the broken tabs on the inside, is how and where (hand placement) the hood is closed. If pressure is put on the hood scoop/bulge when closing, that could be a factor. I baby mine when I close it. Haven't noticed this issue from the video, but haven't looked for it either.
Thanks man i wanted to make sure that it was a kind of just plug and play deal i had a couple broken clips as well i super glued it and it worked for awhile but ended up flapping up at highway speed after a month
I have the same problem with my 2014 Tundra. I've tried gluing it and using special double stick strips from 3M but it keeps blowing up. Did your fix work and which replacement scoop did you use? OEM is pretty expensive but there are lots of after market choices. I want to get the right thing. Thanks!
Unfortunately the aftermarket one I purchased has broken too. Ive been trying to figure out how to fix it going to try epoxy perhaps. It blows up every-time I drive above 50 or so. I haven't found any good tutorials on how to solve this issue either sadly.
I found mine was taking in air while driving. So I filled cavity with Great Stuff foam. That worked for about five years. I am now replacing it for the third time. 😅
On a tundra forum, a guy drilled small holes on top inside, in between the two tabs ,an used small zip ties ,an it works great ,just did it on my 2014 tundra, but I also found a whole replace bulge on Amazon for 130 bucks ,that's a steal because there almost 400 at the dealership, it even looks like it's thicker material.
Seems like a bad design, I saw some videos where people used zip ties to "repair" old ones that were popping out but it seems like the only other way is to just keep replacing.
Good little video. 👍 My 2016 has this issue as well. You'd think either having metal tabs on these ( or even the entire piece) made of metal would be the way to go. Granted, it would be more expensive.. but one and done would be cheaper than two, three, or more plastic replacements.

Just had the same problem after going thru a drive thru car wash. I just ran some double sided 3m tape. Held pretty strong.
Same thing is going on with mine but can’t we just change the plastic retainer clips? I thought that would fix it but not too sure just yet

My 2014 has this issue. Please let me know if you find a different solution!

Had the same problem, including with an aftermarket piece. I ended up self tapping it with stainless steal screws.

What hood scoop like this one would fit on a 2006 tundra

I like that idea, terrible design by Toyota on this unfortunately, everyone I cross paths with has had the issue at one point or another.
Can you tell me the brand you bought? I am having the same issue
The one I bought just ended up breaking again as well going to have to find a different solution
That's a hood bulge...important when you're looking to order or looking for the correct video. Also, color match that bad boy, chrome is trash.

Do you have the link for that forum?
Which one did you buy? Still happy with it? Thanks!
Just put one on thosay with the hood scoop in middle of hood, 680.00 for it
I have a 2014 and I’ve replaced mine 3 times same problem

Agreed, I had to replace again after this video and used fiberglass and epoxy to try and prevent it from breaking again has held up so far
@@TrevsGarage I ended up ordering a replacement on amazon for about $89.00. Looks great, so I'll see how long this one holds up.
I’m on my 3rd one. I’m about to self tap this damn thing. I’ve had it. Worst thing on this tundra. Only thing I don’t like. 2017.
Completley agree. It has since broken again on me since I put the video up bad design clearly.
Mechanic broke my tabs by closing the hood on a bottle cap from some fluids
Same thing is happening to mine
Did you find a solution? I have the same problem...
It’s called a Hood Bulge, not a Hood Scoop.
