Hello all,
I've tried my best to search on this and it's possible it doesn't exist or I'm asking the wrong questions in the search.
The plastic screw type retention clips have come on and off a few times and are worn out and need to be replaced. Curious if anyone has come up with different solutions in replacing these clips or has found a better retention clip.
I'd rather replace them with something better than they stinkin' screw bastards :-)
My DSM's used to have a plain push in/pull out type clips in the wheel well area that worked really well all over the car and lasted a long time - just needed to use a flat tip screwdriver - however they aren't sold anymore by Mits (hell good luck on getting some parts from Mits for my 90)
Thanks in advance for all the suggestions, tips and help.
Joey
**EDIT**
Well - I have found an answer that works great! Not only will I never dread again taking the lower splash shield off anymore, but I don't have to spend a ****e ton of time in taking the damned thing off
Just a couple of seconds and each clip pops right out.
The clip that works so great is the one located on you front bumper -
I went to a couple of different places in looking for the right clip to use - auto stores, hardware stores, etc. Nothing really worked until I used this bad boy.
The part number is MU488006 - this little common screw driver below is all you will need to pop these clips. Beautiful thing here is no trying to pull them out with a set of pliers (destroying the clip in the process), stripping them (again destroying it), trying to unscrew them and the entire thing spins in place, etc.
Cost is about $1.22 from Norco Mits (DSM discount) or whoever can give you a discounted rate at a Mits part shop.
In my eyes this is a problem solved - thought I would spread the word to anyone else that gives a rats @$$.
