Jtslick89 Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 I know rivets were OEM to attach this. What have you guys found to be the easiest/best way. I have the deflector and the screws for the top of it, but not the area shown below (borrowed @Warren Mohler profile pic as example). Thanks!
Dzimm Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 You could just use a nut and bolt with washers, just make sure to use stainless. You may be able to find plastic clips of some kind at the parts store that would work. I'm sure a ziptie would work as well.
eaglescout526 Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Just used bolts with washers and nuts. Don’t just use bolts and nuts as if you over tighten them you will leave an imprint of the nut and bolt and it will look bad.

Don’t just use bolts and nuts as if you over tighten them you will leave an imprint of the nut and bolt and it will look bad. It's bolting through plastic so you'd want to use a nylock nut and yeah just go until the plastic is lined up, no torque on it whatsoever.
schardein Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 I use the plastic push pins, or whatever they are called. They work well. Sourced from the junkyard, but can't remember from what, exactly. I know Chevy trucks 99-2006 use a similar clip on the plastic shroud over the radiator, under the hood. Whatever these came from, they fit perfectly.
