Mud Flap Screws

After our storm of the century up here in Northeast PA that blessed us with about 30" of the white fluffy stuff I noticed that one of my mud flaps was hanging on by 1 screw (3 missing). I took it off so I don't loose it.

Anyone know a part number for the screws ? id like to replace them with the correct ones . .

Careful, the holes in the plastic fender lining are probably larger now. Ive been losing a battle with my rf mudflap. "Xmas tree" body fasteners seem to be a better hold for me (though they will pop out when ya hit the flap again)

 

I've had issues with rescrewing the screws... doesn't seem to bite, I can screw forever and never reach full tightness....

 

Same with my weather techs, havent fell off, or are even loose at all yet.....and all the screws are still there. Nothing to worry about OP, drive it and enjoy it.

 

Wonder if a guy could squirt some silicone in the hole before he threads the screw in if that would help it stay in?

 

Yeah, I gave up on my front mudflaps last week. Truck looks better for it, but we'll see how the paint on the doors holds up. May eventually go with an aftermarket option with more flex if it becomes an issue, and may try the silicone fix pondered above.

 

you can buy the plastic inserts and plastic pop screws at a dealer
they have piles of them usually

but the phillips/hex/flange ...nope they usually do not stock them but can be ordered

hardware stores have those
nearly identical to stock they just haveta be short

 

Search for -#14 x 3/4" license plate screws.

 

maybe you can get them

screw is the screw

grommet is the squarish black plastic piece behind it the
screw goes into.

you can yank your old grommets out... they have
two plastic nubs the screw pushes out when installed that do not retract
easily, you need may need a spudger to get them out



screw grommet 90189-a0002


screw 90159-60603

 

You guys ARE talking about Mud Flaps, right..????

 

silcone is 100% useless in this type of application. it won't stay sticking
if you want to use a glue-type fix use lexel at least lexel will stay put and never lose it's grip


you'd be better off getting new grommets or bigger screw thread

 

talk about mud flaps
my girls got em

 

Thanks for posting this. I'm pretty sure my grommets are stripped.

 

"127.0.0.1", thank you for the info, helped me order those!
