Hello Fellas,


I find myself in need of some help. I did my usual research, but I want to nail down exactly what part I need instead of ordering the wrong thing.

I was replacing my grille today and I took the bumper off, nbd, I do that a lot.

I was putting the grille back when I cross threaded one of the bumper bolts and stripped some plastic piece.

The piece is white plastic.
The piece sits on the passenger side, but there is a mirror piece on the driver side.
The piece is used to attach the upper left part of the bumper to the rest of the trim in the engine bay.

That's about the best I can describe it, I remember people cautioning each other to avoid stripping it, but I went and did it. If anyone can link me to a replacement piece, I'd surely appreciate it.

Thanks,
Anthony

 

Hopefully this helps identifying the item...it has a few images

That does help.

It is the white plastic part that "A" bolts in to. Not the metal tab pictured, but the bit that this bracket bolts to.

 

Hopefully someone here knows the name of that piece.
Maybe send the drawing/picture to the parts store

This is the part in question. I went to the dealership and got a mechanic to positively identify what it was. It's a stiffener bracket, and it is a stupid design. Oh well, it cost me 46 dollars and I installed it myself.

 

sucks about the 46 bucks .....but glad everything worked out.

 

If I didn't want to spend it, I shouldn't have broken it, lol. At least it's a disposable part, rather than something expensive.

Thanks for taking a look.
