re-attaching cladding
The wheel well/cladding (whatever it might be officially called...) has come unattached.
I've done the normal try to pop it on, get at it from below, etc. It looks like I need to remove the outer beveled part to push this expansion plastic snap back in.
However, its held on with something that is not hex, phillips or flat head. Anyone know what this of attachment screw takes?
Surely this thing isn't a one use and replace item as far as this strange screw hole goes.........
Any recommendations appreciated.
The cladding popping off:
In the right rear wheel well where it appears I could get in there if I knew what to remove these with:

Re: re-attaching cladding
I believe those are called torx head screws. They look like a star inside right? The drivers come in different sizes, so you may want to get a set of them They usually attach to a 1/4 or 3/8 rachet driver. They use a lot of them in cars/trucks. I had to get a set of like 10 different sizes when I did my stereo in my other car just to get the interior panels off.

All that is viewable is in the pictures I got above... Someone mentioned a Torx. I think that's it. I have T6, as I used to be into tearing apart cell phones a few years ago... gotta dig that out and see if it fits!
Thanks for the Torx suggestion! |
