    It's either a long 7mm or 8mm plastic rivet. Most all are 7mm with a few being the exception.

    Looks like Item #2 Part number 52161-02020 in the diagram is the same piece.

    Yup, I've had it in my hands, more than once (patching up that piece). Don't even need to raise the car.

    It's not rocket science, any Toyota parts department will be able to sort it out, or you can DIY the search, with any of the online retailers.

    Just pulled this out, front/centre, below front bumper:

    FWIW you could leave it off and not much would happen.

    Thanks, Mendel. The part that is in that location on mine looks just like that, but I wonder whether I have a longer version of the correct part, because the fit is very sloppy.

    Yeah either way: in that piece there's one of row of screws, one row of bolts, and for some odd reason that single plastic fastener. With so many other fasteners, as long as that thing stays in place it's likely good.
