    Have you considered a gas strut kit?
    Far easier to use than that annoying prop.
    Several available such as

    Anyway here is one source for that plastic clip.

    Hello,
    same issue with my AW11. Is the 2RUS MKII clip linked above compatible, or is there another part no?

    I got one of these from Lithia.  It's great.  My problem is the other end also falls out.  Any ideas how to secure "the base"?

    Go the engine lid gas strut guys. It's more expensive then a plastic clip but once you have one you will wonder why it wasn't fitted as standard equipment. Available for SW20 and AW11.

    You can buy the plastic clamp from your local Toyota. I can't remember the cost, but it was only a couple of dollars. Buy a spare with the money you save on postage.

    Edit: Woops, didn't realise the thread was 4 weeks old but still relevant information for anyone.

    Thanks Lumix and others.
    I didn't realise both ends of the prop had plastic clips prone to breaking. I need the lower swivel one.
