Default Re - Clips needed

The bottom of my rear valance has detached from
the floor pan of the car. It looks like it is missing 4 clips.
I think it happened when I took a speed bump - at speed. Does anyone know what they are called / part no and if so where I can get a set. Thanks

Not sure it's shown here....I don't recall exactly what I did, but I think I wove a wire in through some connecting points, keeping that rear bumper cover in place. The original design isn't great.

On the 94s the front bumper cover is attached to the 'under-tray' with barrel nuts available at any good hardware store.
They are available at any good hardware store in different sizes.
I have a bunch of new ones I bought and never used.
They are rubber flanges with threaded inserts.
Yours might have just come loose, look closer before doing anything else.

Many thanks for the info. All 4 are missing. Might need to drill and tap screw as cannot find correct ones anywhere.

The things you need are called edge clips:

Or

Though a few screws are probably best!

Not on the Facelift (93.5MY) or later cars.

equiprx,


I'd respectfully differ. The latter of Greg's 2 links seem like exactly the type of clips that affix the leading edge of the under-section of the rear big=bumper to the trim strip on 1993.5 MY onwards cars, - Buy S Clips | Edge Clips | Edge Clips | Components Direct

They seem to lose their spring tension over time, I've used 3 small hex-headed self tappers to keep mine in place on my 4.0 Convertible.
