OEM Bug Shield - Mounting kit?
Hello again everyone,
Did a couple quick searches here and on google and didn't find anything that gave me a definitive answer. I just bought a used OEM bug shield (I had one for my last truck and thought it was great) I went to install and the two hood clips literally disintegrated due to rust underneath that I did not spot at the point of purchase. Now I'm stuck with a bug deflector that is flailing and rattling around with these two clips gone.
Do the dealers stock JUST the mounting kit or parts from the mounting kit? Or do they sell everything together? Especially now with the new body style out I am worried I could be S.O.L. Any help would be awesome. Thanks guys.

From looking at the installation instructions (and parts list), it's HIGHLY doubtful that the clips are available as seperate parts. Best bet/option would be to fashion replacements from a sheet of aluminum..

Thanks. To the previous poster... I will call the dealership tomorrow. When I posted they were closed and I was contemplating trying to get my money back from the seller if I got a quick enough definitive answer on here.
