Hey - was looking under the hood today and noticed that some of the little black plastic bolts or clips or whatever they are are missing around the airbox/filter assembly.

Anybody know what those are called and if they are easy to find, or are they something only the dealer would carry?

 

Yea. They are just called clips I think. They have them at the dealer.

 

I had quite a few that were broken or just brittle. I ended up going to the dealership and buying a bag of the ones for the trunk liner for around $25 if I remember right. I might have actually purchased two bags cause I replaced every clip under the hood. They seem to fit tighter and look cleaner. Yes they keep them in stock. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks, definitely helps a lot. I assume the clips for the trunk liner worked under the hood no problem?

Edit: I just did some googling and they seem to be called rivets and somebody suggested that Lowes carries them (though it was an old thread). I'll be checking there tonight before going to the dealer and paying triple. Thanks again for the replies.

 

clips are cheap just say you work at a dealership

 

$1.50 ea at my local stealership.

 

$24 for a box of 25 online, not including shipping, so $1.50 each is not as outrageous as it sounds. Of course those things probably cost about a penny a piece to manufacture.

 

I need them too, where do you get them online?

 

Google "nissan plastic rivet" as a starting point and you will find several options.
