Bolts for mudflaps?

[clash31982]

Does anyone know where I can obtain the bolts for the front mudflaps for my 2003 Vibe? 2 of mine seem to be missing.

Your dealer might just give you some. Discount Tire ripped off one of my flaps (and left it just hanging by one screw thinking I wouldn't notice it !!!). They had broken the plastic christmas-tree and lost one of the screws. Long story short, the dealer just gave me a new plastic piece and a few extra screws. Give that a try.

You can try the dealer, but if the holes are stripped replacements wont help. I had flaps put on mine before taking delivery. I dorve the car home and checked the flaps since dealer installs are hit and miss. I found that the right front had 2 screws that were stripped - they obviously didn't check their own work. I had a box of misc. bolts / nuts / washers and was able to find two black ones of slightly larger diameter. By screwing them in, the stripped holes were re-tapped and they seem to be holding just fine.

What length and diameter bolt did you use?

Imo that 5/32 drill is just a smidgen too big for thoes little screws.

I'd have saved mine if I knew you needed some, a couple weeks ago I took off my mudflaps and threw them and the bolts away :
