    Hi all . I have a 2017 Tacoma and I'm getting fed up with the plastic OEM fender wells. All they do is rattle all the time while off-road and some main road ways depending on there conditions. All I see is plastic push it pins holding them all in. Has anyone had issues with there's and what did you do to fasten them tighter like Bolt in instead of push in pins? It is so annoying that they install things like this that they know will not last. And no I don't want to remove them all. Thanks

    I drilled a hole in the plastic and zip tied them to something in behind to keep them quiet....

    All the things!
    Weird, I've never heard mine rattle.

    Could you use clip nuts to fasten them together?

    If your liners have been removed a bunch of times, maybe your old pins are damaged and don't hold as well. You could try replacing them with new.

    Flatironsoverland those are nice but out of my price range.
    Big tall Dave that was an idea just wanted to see what others are doing.
    Bertw192 it is not easy to put these into a square hole . Go and just tap on your fender wells in your driveway and see if they move around and make noise. I came hear them lightly out on drives.
