Plastic fasteners

UNCLE ALBERT · May 30th, 2014, 15:44

I replaced the offside headlamp wiper motor earlier today ,I thought it was going to be a pain in the arris but I was pleasantly surprised it all went ok and buying a second hand motor for £20 was the icing on the cake. BUT some the plastic fasteners the hold the top of the bumper to the scuttle fell to piece's, would any of you know the correct name for these item's and the best to get them.

Hello, See if you can round up enough pieces of broken ones (or a complete good one) and go to an auto body supply shop. I'm lucky to have such a shop near me.

Ask at a body shop or two where they get their supplies. It's likely a basic "10 a penny" fastener.

EACH AND EVERY style of fastener being in stock is not guaranteed. Kira

For once I went to the Volvo main dealer in Ipswich and described where they came from and bought a packet of 10. Can't remember the price but for once I do remember being pleasantly surprised.

and take the bits in with me.

I bought some of these this week to replace a missing one:

Fitted well and you wouldn't know it was different to the others unless I told you.

May be cheaper at the Volvo garage. I had to replace mine after the engine swap.

"Inbredswich", Ha Ha very good. Tell me Albert, is that where you're originally from?

NO Rossi -fan I was born in the east end of London many years ago moved to Essex when I was 16 were I still live BUT I spend a lot of time working in Suffolk and Norfolk. If you had spent any time in Ipswich you would understand why we call it Inbredswich .You must have seen them on the Jeremy Kylle show.
