Replacing little rubber "thingys"

tgregg · Jan 19, 2006

I'm sorry to use such a technical term but I don't know what they are called. Just took a front fender off my 95 XJ to weld a door hinge. But I had to cut a bunch of the rubber thingys to do it. They hold some bumper pieces and inner fender well stuff together. Can I buy these somewhere (other than a dealer) or is there something else I can use?

Help!

Most auto stores carry them. Usually under the 'Help!' brand.

Thanks, I'll look for the help brand. Is that the red cards with all kinds of odd stuff on them?

Yeah, they have some great stuff in there.

Failing finding it in a store, take one of the shredded ones with you, and ask to look at a Motormite (Help!) catalogue. They've got a LOT more stuff than you see - and going thru the catalogue has really saved me a few times. I should get one of my own...

You made me search!

Looks like there is an online catalogue--kinda slow, but better than none.

I also learned that I have been spelling fasteners incorrectly.

i've allways heard them referred to as popclips. the ones used to hold on door pannels have a different head than the ones used on the fender liners, but both work to hold up the fender liners.

that dorman website is awesome. Just a bunch of random things that are useful. I'm ordering a whole bunch of interior screws and such, no longer will the MJ rattle it's way down the road cause all the screws are missing.

You're welcome.

It's funny - I'm working on a "posting rules" post because I'm getting so damn frustrated - one of the "rules" I'm positing is "learn to spell, or buy a dictionary." Not spelling correctly makes it harder to search - computers are awfully literal when it comes to things like that...
