I found a good alternative to those crappy and flimsy OEM pop-screws.

Lowes' has 1/4" Push-In Nylon Rivets for about $1 a pair (cheaper than what oem goes for). They are thicker plastic, easier to remove and are better at securing what they are attatched too. The 1/4" can fit into just about every location with little effort. I've used the 1/2" ones in a few of the locations where they were breaking, but they are pretty hard to squeeze in there, so I wouldn't recommend them, unless there is a problem area.

Just thought I'd share, its a common problem that is often over looked.

 

zip ties ftw

 

sweet, IIRC stealership wanted like $4 for one. Thank you

 

Yeah, no problem. Those expensive POS kept breaking on me, so I found something better for cheaper.

 

i hate the OEM's as well

 

I may look into these. Thanks for the info.

 

Glad I could help someone else

 

Good find. I bought a few of these today to replace the broken rivets in my fender liner in the front. THey really do hold better than the stock ones. I might just replace all the rivets in both fenders in the front.

 

Cool, good to know, any pics of these?

 

I can probably take some later today, I have some extras in my glove box.

 

I know its kinda blurry, but is this what you wanted? It's a pic of the 1/4".

 

Works for me

 

Also check ebay. I sometimes see them for cheap there. Gotta buy in bulk though.

 

anyone try these on the tl's?

 

its the same fitment.

 

sweet. I thought if lowes had home depot would to.. guess not. stoppin by lowes later then.

 

If you get a few, post up their name on the package and what area of the store they are found. The minion at my local Lowes looked at me as if I were on 'crack' when I tried to explain what I was looking.

 

they dont have them at home depot, only lowes.

i think they're located near the screws, bolts and fasteners. Thats what these are called: nylon fasteners or push-in rivets.

 

1/4" didnt work for me. i found some at oreilly auto parts 3/8" that worked.

 

i coudn't get either size to fit. are the holes different sizes for different parts of the car? i only tried the ones at the top of the bumper

 

Anyone know the part number of OEM screws?


Thanks.

 

You can get them on ebay as well and they come out to like 75c each.

Is those rivet fitted for CL fender?

Thanks.

 

I've got a diagram and prices but which one is it?


Thanks.

 

assuming your replacing the clips in your wheel fender splash guard, it would be #15

 

You can get the splash guard clips at honda for like 80 cents a piece

 

go to honda to get the clips. get the part number and show it to the parts dept guy. honda parts are more expensive at the acura dealer.

 

I paid $1.32 each at honda dealer.

 

thanks alot thanks for sharing
