I don't know how to explain what these are but you know those Phillips head plastic screw, that screw into that thing that widens as you tighten to hold your bumpers on, mud guards, engine covers etc

Well I'm after a few of those a bag of 50 or so cause I'm always breaking them plus my car didn't have all of them...

You can get them from your nearest Subaru dealer.
They tend to charge a lot for tiny things though.

eBay :D

Probably won't find the exact ones but I'm sure you can find some that'll do the job.

Was gonna say the same thing. I bought some not long ago and they charge around $2-3 each, figured you wouldn't want to spend over $100 for a pack of clips :lol:

I did my own eBay search for these after I started this thread but if u look in the eBay link above you will find them for Subaru I'm pretty sure we want 8mm ones...

But yes they are for the engine cover etc

If Subaru services your car they just replace any missing ones at no charge. Just take a few out before the service and they will replace :)

I recently had my inner guard ripped out and had to replace the whole thing. I bought a whole bunch of clips from Subaru just in case because I was missing a few for the engine cover too, but I can confirm from experience that the screws used in the guards is not the same as the ones used to hold stuff in the engine bay (they are smaller).
