Missing mud-flap push pins.

Has anyone else had this problem? I'm trying to find some new ones without getting gouged. I got stuck in deep snow once, that must have been when a couple of them popped out. The flaps still hold on ok but I don't want to have rusting issues in the holes. Do I have to go through a dealership for these?

 

you can probably just get the part # and find them at a local hardware or autopart store if you dont want to go to the dealer...
also i dont see how that could rust since iirc, they clip into the plastic fender flares

 

You can take one to the local auto parts store and get one that will work for imports. Those fasteners comes in a pack of several.

 

You really don't need them, as long as the 3 or 4 screws are still there.

 

I've never even noticed the fender flares are plastic..

Good point on the hardware store, they might have some.

 

The Husky flaps come with screws and retainers that go behind the flap. It's a pain holding the retainer's in place while you screw into them, but they are a lot sturdier than the push pins.

 

I have a 13' DCSB I bought used with 15K. The LR mud-flap was missing 2 or 3 push
pins. I went to my local dealer. A service writer put in a couple push pins and a bolt
(stock) while I waited in the area where you drive in for service.

Might as well get the right parts....they were free and so was the labor.

I liked the mud-flaps on my 02' TRD Much better....they were made out of rubber
not plastic.

^^this, go to the hardware section and theres a couple of drawers that have bolts, clips etc for automobiles
