Need Help with a part!

[First-SHO]

Changed oil today and saw on the lower engine cover I was missing 1 grommet and locking screw. After a stop in my local dealer they informed me I cannot purchase just the grommet and screw, but have to purchase the entire lower engine cover for $200.

My question to you guy's, does anyone know where I can just get the grommet and screw?

Thanks!

i think this happened to someone else as well already... cant remember what thread it was but I believe somebody said you could get just the screws somehow.

Sorry im not much help

Forget the parts guy. Talk to a service technician. There must be a suitable replacement screw if it's not available separately.

Just pm'ed Cheech. Maybe he can help me. What a PITA!

So what did you end up doing? Your thread had no solutions.

Haven't had this happen on the SHO yet, but I know on my previous cars I was able to go to pepboys and they had some generic ones that I was able to pop right in and they worked just fine.

plenty of legal solutions were posted

your best bet is contacting Torrie

Torrie is checking on one for me.

Thanks guy's!

No good on my end. Have to buy the $250 cover. My Bodyshop doesn't have any either

You know, this is the kind of stuff that just makes you wonder what the bean counters and engineers are thinking about when they do something this stupid. Why not just use a dzus fastener that has been around for ages??

 

[First-SHO]

So far no luck with just the grommet and bolt. Everyone I have talked to said there are no part numbers for them. It is part of the lower engine cover.

Even Torrie is having a tough time.
