Newbie Here Need Parts

Post by KQQLCAT »

Hi, I am new to this sight and in need for some parts. I have a 2005 Pontiac Vibe AWD Neptune color and leather interior, with 200,000 miles on it that I bought new. My drivers side wheel liner came loose and now I have a big hole in it. I found and ordered the new liner but I can't find the clips and pins that hold it on. This is the first thing that has gone wrong with the car since new. If I could I would buy another one.

Thank you,
Salsa Guy

I found some plastic rivots that work great and are cheaper than the autoparts store at Lowes. Not sure about any clips though.
You may want to inspect the other side also because those wheel wells are Known for falling out. My Driver side has a 2 inch hole.

Make sure when you replace the liner, that you don't murder the clips that the 10 MM-headed screws thread into on the rear edges of the liners, because those are costly (at least from GM...lol).
