Title: Screw Retainer Help Please
Post by: Kammy on 21 February 2012, 22:47:41

Hi all,

I need help in trying to source the plastic clips that fit in to the car which then take then screws/bolts from parts added on the car, IE the clips that hold the screws to the front grill and the screws to hold the headlights. Does anybody know what these are called?

Can these be sourced from anywhere other than the dealer? I unfortunately broke a few when replacing the xenon headlight bulbs and the grill.

Many thanks.

Kam

I think they are called Scrivets or Screw Grommets.
