So i backed over some pretty high snow and i broke the poppet fasteners that were holding my front mud flaps on. Anyone know if these are the same size as the ones used under the hood to hold the intake hose? I'm going to try my local pepboys and if not the dealer when the weather gets a bit better to see if i can find replacements to reinstall my front mud flaps.

Here are some pictures of the fasteners. Thanks in advance for any advice.

 

Go to lowes or home depot with screws, buttons, plugs etcs. They are a lot more useful with stuff like those. As for the measurement, just take those parts there and they will get you the same measurement. I replaced mine after I broke 2 of these from the front side when I was inspecting the fender air scoops, just went to home depot and asked a dude who worked there and gave me the same ones.

 

ah sweet. That sounds perfect!

 

I went to homedepot with no luck and Strauss autoparts i only found for gm / ford models. However i did find this online:

I'm pretty sure these are it, i'm going to check pep boys and if they don't have it either then i guess i'll just order those.

 

Sorry to hear you didnt get lucky man. Amazon link looks like that part for sure, at least now we know its a 9mm hole push lol. If you do hit home depot or lowes next time dont mention the small part being for a car. They make it seem like a really complicate thing. I told my buddy to get me zip ties from there for the fuel pressure hose on the engine blog and he said its for an evo and he came empty handed... I dont know which is worse, my buddy's IQ or the people who helped him....

 

lol well bad news. I got the clips and the 9 mm were too big. I probably should've gotten the cheaper package of 2 from pepboys with different sizes first.. stupid me. well i'll find out tomorrow.

 

I have previously bought similar retainers from Napa Auto Parts, when I was installing mud flaps last month.

 

tnx for info...........

 

ebay is your friend, just ordered some myself.

 

I just went to the dealership and bought new clips. They are like 2bucks a set of two.
