I'm missing one of these plastic screws. Does anybody know where I can get them? They are used to steady the plastic hood where the fuse box is for example.

 

Part # XR812941010. Google the part number for sources. $3 online plus shipping. $6.52 on eBay with shipping. Probably best to pay full retail at dealer for $6.94 plus tax. Best to call ahead in case they need to order it in, but they'll likely have it in stock.

 

I bought a box of 10 last year here

Functionally the same, but not the OEM appearance if that’s an issue for you.

 

Interesting. They exactly matched the appearance of what I believed to be other OEM fasteners in my 2014.

Oh well, buy at your own risk.

 

The OP’s pic shows the OEM fastener. The Fastener you referenced looks like a different head design.

 

I bought some so called genuine ones on Evilbay
They at first glace look the same, but the pitch of the screw is different, en the print is slightly different as well.
I could live with all that, but worst of all, they are crap, as they tend to break very easily, so easy I do not want to use them in my car.

On the originals, one can spot a print, showing the material they are made of (being POM) - the Evil ones do not have such.

Cheap copies thus, and a waste of money.

Conclusion, in the end I'll have to order them dealer wise after all....

 

I bought it from here and received the Original screw, the print is the same and it doesn't look any different:

I'm from Germany and it arrived pretty quickly too, took about 4 days maybe.

I'll check your link Falkenhayn.

 

Funny, I have had several of my OEM ones break. I thought those were poor quality fasteners. I guess it’s a small comfort to know I could have bought worse ones. Thanks.

 

Funny that should happen, I have removed and replaced these screws dozens if not hundreds of times across three Jags and never broken a single one.
Dropped and lost yes, broken never!

 

They do strip easily, however. Dealer techs act like Porsche mechanics when tightening those fasteners.

 

Never stripped one either.
I have always simply pushed them back in with no turning (so zero "tightening"), then when removing them again it takes minimal effort to turn them loose enough to pull out.
The secret to not breaking or stripping them may be the technique I use - I always loosen them right off (by turning the screw) before refitting, such that the little prongs are as narrow as they will go. Then they fit easily in the holes and push in real easy.

 

I use the same technique, but I’m afraid the dealer techs don’t.

 

Thanks. Bought 4. I ordered on Friday and they shipped on Saturday. Should be to San Diego in 3 -4 days. Cost was $15.72 after exchange rate and shipping.
