1985 firebird trans am hardware mounting inner fender skirts

What part is needed to mount the plastic inner fender well skirts on the front? If you have a link to the part great I'm ready to order something to get these skirts mounted.

they came loose on the car I was thinking some kinda plastic push pin but thought maybe someone here knew what the real part number was and a place to make a purchase.

I usually buy those types of parts at Ace Hardware. Pretty much the same stuff they sell at auto parts stores, but a lot cheaper. Also picked up a pack of 100 (I think) assorted sizes from Harbor Freight Tools. Can't have too many fasteners around the garage - lol.

Having a sample of the pin helps, but even with a rough measurement you can find one that will do the job.

Hope this helps

Yes, just a plastic pushpin.

The mounting was different on 89 and up, at least for the Trans Ams. If you have an earlier car, these are the clips you need.
