Default Looking for Nylon Push-Type Retainers

Does anyone know where I can get nylon retainers for the fender flares and wheel well covers? Some of mine are broken/missing and I've been meaning to replace them. I also have some paint chipping that I want to take care of underneath the flares so I'll need more retainers anyway. I've heard Napa might carry them?

You mean those clips that are on the inner part of the factory fender covers/flares? I have dozens of them. PM me.

They aren't so much a clip....more like a nylon expansion anchor.

I think most auto part stores sell ones that will work.

I lack the finesse to save those suckers, and have bought them from O'Reilly's, Napa, and Auto Zone over the years.

Anyone Found a type they like best? I can never manage to get them out in one piece so I usually break them...

Find the size you need and order then from Amazon. WAY Cheaper for a larger pack. I'm not sure which size you need, but I've bought a few sizes just to have them around for when I need them.
