Installing Splash Guards...

Quick question...

My '00 GXE didn't come with splash guards, and I just purchased a set from THEKNITE and they came in the mail yesterday. I was able to put the fronts on, but the rears don't have holes, just the factory "indentations" to where the holes should be. Do I need anything else to make them hold without fear of losing them, or can I just screw them into the bodywork at the factory "indentations".

Thanks!

Mine didn't come with guards either. I later purchased some but I don't remeber if my holes were already there. I think if you screw them in tight enough you shouldn't have any problems. I think its a total of 3 screw for each side. I had to remove my rear tire to put in the screws.

There are supposed to be metal clips that you should slide in between the splash guard and the bumper so that the screw has something to hold on.

@bsetiawan...

I think I know the clips you're talking about. I'll be able to do that with the top two screws, but what about the one on the underside of the splashguard? That's the one I'm concerned with making sure holds (3 points of contact & all that stability stuff, ya know...)

Anybody??? I want to get this over and done with as soon as possible, but I don't want to lose anything either...

The underside, you will have to reuse that bolt from the bumper. That's all. Btw, did U get my PM ?

I don't mean to get off-topic a little. But I was wondering who might sell the splash guard that goes directly under the front of the car. Not the ones that go in the wheel wells, but the ones on the bottom of the car just behind the front bumper. Thank you for anyhelp.

I couldn't search because the feature is turned off, google wasn't any help either.
