Hey folks!


I am currently trying to replace some cracked trunk pieces on my friend's Crossfire. When we checked out the trunk we realized some of the other pieces that are not cracked are missing the screws as described in the picture. They are double screws, meaning a top part drilling into the bottom part holding both pieces down (like a screw drilling into an anchor.
What is the best place to find these screws and what is the name?
I have the service manual. How do I use that manual to figure out name and part number of these screws? I looked through numerous pages today and just wasn't able to find what I needed.


Thanks for everyones help it is highly appreciated!

Those are not screws but "push pins", and are used in quite a few places on the Crossfire.

 

The city I live in has a huge auto paint supply store and they have a room full of bins with drawers full of all types of trim and panel fasteners as well as all types of weather strip and rubber bumpers. You need a place like that. Or maybe even a good full service parts store.

i've been looking for these for quite a while actually. if you find a supplier let us know!

 

Alright guys thanks for the replies I will go on the hunt for these pins!

 

I put these in the rear of my xfire 8 months ago and they hold as well as the originals.

Awesome. Thanks for the heads up. I just went ahead and ordered them! I appreciate it.

 

Anyone have any videos or experience detaching the plastic housing to access the 3rd brake light under the trunk lid of a coupe? Where does one begin to pull or slide the covering for removal? I would feel like crap braking the molding to install a new $5 part for the 3rd brake light. Anyone have some directions?? Thanks!

 

I also would like instructions to access the 3rd brake light (coupe) ...mine is not working for some reason. Anybody know the fuse number for this light. New to this...just got my xf 5 days ago....thanks in advance.

 

These are the clips that I have been using for the hatch panels in my coupe.

Go here and here.
They are for another subject but they tell you how to get at it.

 

Looks like 180 has you covered. Once you start removing panels, you'll see it's easy. Very helpful to remove panels/trim using removal pry tools rather than a screwdriver, makes it much easier and no cracking/braking of panels. Not sure about the fuse number, you could inspect each fuse to look for a blown fuse. Good luck and hope this is the worse repair you encounter for a long time……….
