Hey everyone,
Any idea where I could buy some plastic expansion screws for the rubber flap to the side of my headlights? I've got an 02 and need to screw the expansion screws into the three holes to the side of the headlights. Thanks!!!

Why does everyone want to buy online???? What's wrong with walking into a store, and picking up what you want? Don't have to pay shipping either??

Cause you can usually find exactly what you need at a good price, instead of walking in/out empty handed. I usually bundle my items so I qualify for free shipping. Now, if it's an item where warranty and quick replacement is a big concern, yeah... store.

On the rubber flap, have you thought of zip ties?

If you can get a part number, searching amazon by part number will likely turn them up.

Check some of the online mopar parts catalogs. See if you even CAN get a part number for them.... They are just little plastic push-pin-like fellers aren't they? Heck, even the dealer may have a reasonable price.

Keep in mind, it's entirely possible that you can't get them by themselves...... may only come attached to a headlight housing.....

Well I ordered a box of different sizes, and found the screws that fit perfect. I'll attach a link below. One less headache to worry about
