this morning i hit a fat coon. it tore up my bumper but i fixed it ... a few cracks though anyway after i did a freak out in the highway i was flying to get to work i was running about 65 the freaking plastic shroud around the tire went flying out the side of my car.. box whatever.. after work i found it on the side of the road and my husband looked at it and said i need the new plastic screw things that pop in. does anyone know what size they are or were i can get them.. i went to advanced auto and the freaks couldnt find them.. when I did there were all diff. ones.... please anyone i need help

 

most of them are a type of pop out, you could get them online with the part #, or you could go to parts store, popout the one on the other side and use it for reference on the parts they have.
what year is your car?

Believe it or not Lowes and probably HD sell clips in the misc section of their hardware aisle ( in the drawers )

 

Always go to Toyota parts first. Even if you aren't going to get the part there, always find out the correct part before you start asking some hilly billy at some cheap parts store that has no idea what you really need and just wants to make a dollar.

 

ya i left the store ____ed, i got ahold of scion and the dude couldnt help me ether.. wtf i know so now im on the hunt

 

No no no. You have to physically go into a dealership. They will show you a diagram of your car with the part you need on it, and you just point it out. Or, you can walk about to your car with them and point out what you need and they will order it for you. Over the phone will never ever work. How are you supposed to explain over the phone what part you are trying to get? If you were saying, "I need a new hood," that sounds reasonable, but not for what you are trying to get.

 

They will probably give you some clips for free at the dealership. If not I think they are like $0.50 a piece. Go talk to them. If they really can't get you any, and you can't find them, pm me and I will send you a handful. good luck!

 

Yeah, the plastic push clips are pretty universal on Scions. They come in only a couple varieteis. But yeah, the dealership will sell them to you for about a dollar a piece. They usually have those on hand at all times. Some of the other push clips under the hood are different and they usually don't keep those on hand, but yeah, for the wheel well, they'll have them. Just plan on spending about a dollar for each one. And be gentle with them when you install them, they break super easy, especially when pulling them out. I've seen a lot of people snap theirs.

 

I got some at advance, they just have a philips thing on top instead of plain. Same thing.

 

thanks everyone you have all been life savers! i got the bumper all together now its the shroud... thats my project this weekend... i live and hour from the closest scion dealer... so looks like a road trip and ya the only one to stay on the shroud i broke and then i got mad at my husband and the coon so i threw it and now i cant find it go figure lol
