Help me find the bolt!

Post by CAMOGIRL »

was investigating a rattle, and found this... Any help on what size screw or bolt I need to reattach this is greatly appreciated!

Those are usually held on by a plastic "bolt." Most of mine have broken off and I replaced them with zip ties.

Yeah, I agree. I was gonna mention that it looks like it should be one of those plastic bolts or plastic rivets but I didn't want to say for sure without checking mine out first.

Dont brother even replace them with the plastic bolts, I've done that, and found out they popped off again, just zip tie them and you'll be set for good.

zip ties FTW. I keep some in all of our cars. The front grill on my VW is held on with 4 of them, strategically placed.
