Default 2005 RAM Air Deflector bolt size.

Someone stole the air deflector off my grill and I got another one off Craigslist but it didn't come with the bolts. Would someone be able to tell me what size the bolts are and how long?

Thanks!

On my 06 and 07, they weren't bolts at all but plastic plugs with a philips head to twist and pull the wings out to hold it on.. I think the only place you can get them from is the dealer, and likely with the purchase of a new air deflector..

I think there are plastic anchors that go into existing holes in the hood and then screws that get screwed into the achors which hold the bug shield on.

That's what I read before anyways

You can search HERE for them possibly??

Thank you for all the help!

I went to AutoZone and bought a box of Chrysler panel retainers - black plastic plugs with fins on them. They worked perfect. Since there aren't any screw holes, they will have to break the deflector to get it off.
