    I have to replace the driver side wheel well liner as the original liner became dislodged and fell out. I am having a hard time understanding what type/size fasteners are needed to secure the liner back to the vehicle. Any suggestions as to size and type that I need to use when I reinstall the wheel well liner?

    You can get the plastic clips at the dealer, but in a couple of places I would substitute an old fashioned nut, bolt and washer. I did when I lost mine and it seemed to work well.

    Check with dealership, there's myriad types.

    Hang on: other side is intact? Pull a few out and search for similar size aftermarket at an automotive retailer will likely be cheaper.

    I'm not sure if all of the Lowe's stores stock automotive fasteners, but, the one near me has a very good selection in its hardware section at reasonable prices.
