    When I opened the hood on my '21 TRD Pro I heard a 'snap'. Looked up and one of the brackets to the 'nose cone' of the hood has snapped. (see pics) Does anyone know if this can be fixed by replacing the bracket, or does the whole 'nose cone' need to be replaced.

    Thanks

    If you take it off, you may be able to jb weld that piece back together. I have had good success with similar issues but don’t know what the other piece of that bracket looks like

    Does JB Weld work on plastic?

    Worse case- new hood bulge

    Its the metal clip that snaped, not the 'nose cone'. I found a clip on Toyota Parts Express for $1.09! I think that will fix it.

    FYI If the whole mount breaks, you can just move the bolt and metal piece over to the next bracket. This is what I had to do with mine and its been holding great for a year now.
