Hello i have a 03 foreman. I need to know where i can get those little black things that hold the mud flaps on the plastic. i have lost most of them on one side. is this normal? can i buy more? is it something i can put on myself? any help would be nice. thanx.

 

I lost some if mine too.I replaced w/ a stainless 1" long bolt that has a pan head and lock bolt w/ washer on the other side.I know this will stay and will not rust.Good luck.

 

You can get them at teh dealer or most auto body supply stores. They are frequently used in cars/trucks for different things.

When mine started to get loose or holes became oval, I got a bunch of stainless washers that fit tightly over them (same size as original hole) and used them on the inside of the clip. This really tightened things up. If you use nuts and bolts you run the risk of cracking or tearing the plastic fenders or extenders because there is little or no give at the joint.

 

You could check at any auto parts store to see if they have something that will work. Take in one of the original pieces to compare to the ones in the store.

 

Yes, you can get those from your dealer or from someone online like Service Honda. Any place that sells Honda parts will have them. They usually run around .50 cents each. Technically, they're called "mudguard clips".

 

Are they hard to put in? How do you do it?

 

Super simple to put in. All they are is basically a center "pin" that slides inside an outer shell. When the center pin is pushed in, the outer shell expands and keeps it from coming out. Have you ever seen or used a drywall anchor for hanging a picture or whatever? Same principle. The easiest way to check it out is to just take one of your existing clips out. Just take a small screwdriver and pry the smaller center pin out about a half inch or so. Once you have that done, the whole clip should easily pull out. You can always ask your dealer about them too. He'll show you how they work.
