Fender clips for the oem mudflaps. Where to get?

I can't even get the stock ones off my old car I just end up mangling them to death. Is the dealer the only place? Or have you guys found them at a local parts store?

are you talking about the front or rear?

on the rear ones, you can buy some little expanding plastic guys at Lowes (choose your hardware store) for about $0.25 each. they slide into the square holes in the fender, then you simply stick a screw in them and they expand to fill the hole and hold the mudflap down.

Yup Matt, the rears. That's what sorta figured. Hope I can find the correct size. I'm thinking maybe the drywall expanders?

Pepboys actually has some of those expanding screws and I've also seen a couple at Ace Hardware

good luck

They're called "body clips" at Home Depot.

I had my maintenance guy from work watching me when I first bought mine, and he was like "you need some clip?" and of course, I did, so he bought them with the company card the next day. The receipt said "body clips."

My maintanence staff ruled.
