Windshield cowl fix

[dblake]

Hello everyone. I have lost all of my plastic fasteners for my windshield cowl(part #14 from the attached chart). Has anybody figured out a replacement for these yet? The dealer says he can’t get them anymore. Thanks in advance for the replies.

Sorry for posting in wrong forum. I can’t figure out how to move it.

Dave's link has them less expensive.

Here's a link on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-GENUINE-MOPAR-OEM-COWL-GRILLE-PANEL-CLIP-6503339-/362659712834

That’s it! Thank you! I was hoping to find a better solution than the stock plastic one. I think I keep losing mine due to the following combination: Front hood air dam creating a lift instead of positive pressure and a Genos cabin air filter putting extra stress on the plastic clips. Since they come in a pack of 20 though I can afford to lose a few now and then.

Clips and Fasteners is a source I have had great success with for those hard to find items the dealer no longer stocks, or have dealer prices beyond the Gold standard. Great prices and fast shipping, too.

I couldn't find them at clips and fasteners, that was the first place I looked. Kind of strange.

Did you leave the leading "0" in the part number. I have found many websites won't find the number with a leading "0". The older searches would look for, and find items "containing". Nowadays, it's too much work for the programmer to filter with all the gibberish out there to choose from.

Yeah, these searches can be challenging. But you do find some interesting stuff you would have never thought of if you didn't go off track. But here you forgot the important words "top stud"...

Probably would have turned up things I do not want to see or know about
