My car is in the process of getting painted, or I guess I should say "sealed", and was missing both of the fastners that hold on the rear of the side skirts. I know its not just a simple push-in one way fastner, so does anybody know a good source for these? I dont care about color as it can get painted.

I used a regular "Christmas Tree" (oops, holiday tree) fastener that was about the same size as the stock piece. I had to trim the ends a little so they'd push through that metal bracket that attaches to the body of the car.

Okay maybe I'll try that then, the hole is definitally smaller then the standard push in pieces. Lowes has a pretty good selection of that stuff.

Tyler,what diameter hole does it go through. We have a good selection of trim clips here at work, might be able to help you out.

I would have to go measure it, its probably not much bigger then 1/8".

I'm going from memory here. It seems the hole is 3/16".

Yeah that sounds about right. The standard xmas tree style fastner uses about a 5/16" hole. If I find anything I'll pass on the info.
