does anyone know where i can buy some new ones? like the ones that secure the battery cover. the stupid mechanic doesnt know how to pry 'em out so in the process he broke some of them.

EDIT: you can find them at http://www.clipsandfasteners.com/default.asp search "infiniti"

 

Autozone or just about any other car parts store has them. They are a standard item meaning just about every car on the road uses the same item.

 

tell your guy he should invest in these :P they are only 20 bucks

 

And you trust him to work on your car?

 

you don't need a special tool, just use a small flat head screwdriver to pop the center head out and pull the entire piece out with your fingers!


I really don't understand why people pay other people to do such easy work.

 

What are those called

 

You know there are some space you might not be able to get a screwdriver in.

 

I bought a clip tool about 5 years ago it is one of my best investments

 

first week i got the car, i brought it to a local shop to check out everything. bastard was reckless and broke some of 'em.

what are these called??

 

Good I just bought the 3pc set of this tools for 42 shipped.

 

you can buy the push pin fasteners on Ebay. It was much cheaper than the dealership though I didn't try any of our sponsors. Piad $15 for 45 pins

 

^^can you gimme the link? thanks

 

I'll look in my toolbox tomorrow to see who the shipper was. I couldn't find it in my Ebay account as it's been a while since I bought them but there is a thread on Driver somewhere and I linked the Ebay seller.

 

Check your local AutoZone or Advanced Auto parts. I brought a bunch of clips there.
