underbody plastic

[melders]

anyone know were i can get my hands on one of the plastic screw pin like things that hold the plastic on the underbody of the vibe? one came off on my passenger side front, and it seems like the whole front end is loose, and it moves quite a bitEDIT: this picture shows were it is looseit is the clip that is farthest left, and the whole pass side front end seems to move because that piece is missing

I am going today or tomorrow for them.I think the same one on mine is missing,as the pass side rattles too.I will let you know part #'s and price.Quote, originally posted by 02csnow »When did you get a body kit? I had it for a while now,just lazy to put it on.Looks good on,but the front is real low,have to watch for speed bumps and curbs.It's the GM sport package.

Mine was missing and the front end was rattling. My tire rubbed on the plastic and wore a hole into the fender lining. I ended up putting a zip tie into the hole to hold it for know.

I ended up putting a zip tie into the hole to hold it for know.(removed)..that exactly the same thing that happened to my front left wheel well plastic! I'm having a devil of a time finding a replacement part. I've zip-tied mine as well, but it won't last long.

Anyone checked for generic plastic body clips from say Ace Hardware or True Value? When I was performing some routine maintenance on a friend's Honda CRV, I noticed some were missing and just grabbed a few at the Ace Hardware around the corner...

A new Ace just opened up about a mile from my house. I'll have to go by there tomorrow and check 'em out. Thanks for the tip.I'm gonna need a whole new liner though ($93 List, $124 from gmdirect with crazy shipping). I wonder if a used one from a junkyard would suffice?I'd use Pam's Auto (the site that BlueCrush found), but they only have an entire fender ($175).

They should carry them at most auto supply stores.I found some at partsource for $1.They have a few sizes and look the same.

I was looking at the GM inner liner on a vehicle today and I noticed that the GM liner seems a lot thicker and sturdier, and the push clips fit alot tighter than the liner on my vibe. the one on my vibe seems real cheap in comparison to another GM model. just an observation.

Another easy quick fix that was way cheaper was using zip ties. I ended up fixing my mom's doing that and then when I looked at mine to check if I was missing any, I found about 4 or 5 missing....my entire front fascia would move when I washed it with a sponge! I used some zip ties and the front end is now sturdier than it ever was with those plastic bolts!
