How the hell do the inner fenders mount on?

So I have been trying for the past 20 mins trying to figure out how. I know now that the fasteners or push in pins I have are too small but I am still trying to figure it out, for 91-92 do they go inwards or outwards? Meaning right now I have it inwards and its perfect just need the hardware, but when its outwards, its more of a pain and ligning it out is a bitch. I know its outwards or think since thats how it should fasten anyways.


But anyone have any advice and size of mounting hardware I need or tricks that might work for it? Or a picture would be amazing.

Instead of the plastic mounting hardware you can get some flush mount sheet metal screws (in black finish) to mount it on the metal tabs. More durable, cheaper and less likely to break when doing repeat removals.

Re: How the hell do the inner fenders mount on?

You'll want something with a large head, like 1/2" in diameter. The holes in the fender tabs are 1/4".

Not sure what you mean by "do they go inwards or outwards"? On mine, I mount them so the plastic liners are between the fender tabs and the push clips. So that the push clips go through the holes in the plastic liner and into the hole in the fender tabs. Hopefully, I didn't confuse anyone too badly there.
