Need tailgate plastic plugs

Post by 4subiefam »

I am looking for some of the round plastic plugs for a Baja tailgate. Is anyone parting a Baja out?

Thanks

Iam also missing one of these clip and one of the screws in the bed liner. Ive been wanting to call Subaru to get some and since I work in parts at Honda I would get a discount but just been too busy this week to get a chance to call em up

Must be the going rate. That's what the local dealership charged me for one. I must have knocked it off with the high pressure water sprayer at the car wash the other day.

I've got six of 'em to replace :cry:. Anyone found a relatively inexpensive source for 'em yet?

I just bought some large automotive trim plugs from the hardware store, and trimmed it down to the right diameter with a scissors. 80 cents.
it's not exactly the same "texture" but unless you're being looked at like a show car, it'd be very hard to notice...
