Need fasteners for the 'rear compartment lid applique' (AKA long decoration plastic on the trunk)
Hello,
My trunk plastic decoration with the oldsmobile cutlass title and the red reflectors went off. I've found a new (used) one to put instead, but the fasteners for it can't be found anywhere :( Attached 2 pics of them... can't get them in autozone nor O'reiley nor found any online... anyone got an idea? Thanks.
I didn't see a G.M. dealer in your search. Or did I miss that?
I haven't seen a dealer yet, just checked those GM parts all over the place online and couldn't find it there either...
GM is your best bet. A compliant parts guy will find them for you if they are still available. It's 15 years old.
Thanks BoholMark. I'll try that... in parallel to that - anyone knows about somewhere online i can get them, or in case i can't find them - anything else i can use instead??
I have come across this same issue. Did you ever find a solution?
Nope i did not. Sorry :( still looking for fasteners myself. Let me know if you find any please!
Same thing happened on our ’98 Cutlass. I re-attached it to the trunk using small L brackets with holes on each end and screwed it with pre-drilled holes to the side on the plastic panel and the back of the inside of the trunk lid. I did this a few years ago and it worked great because you don’t see the brackets when the lid is closed.
Hi: I know that my answer is a little bit late, but this issue happened to me now. After about 2 months looking on the web, I tried with this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Clipsandfasteners-Inc-10-Door-Panel-Push-Type-Clips-For-GM- LeSabre-Aurora/400291474780?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144 They worked pretty well, just very small modifications: 1. I needed to cut a small portion from the top part of each clip, I did it with a utility knife. 2. I needed to make whole in the 'rear compartment lid applique' (AKA long decoration plastic on the trunk), I used a drill and a utility knife, very easy to do. I hope this could help someone in the future.
