Re: Car Wash Attacks!
So you're finding the replacement of your choice and the proprietors of the car wash are going to pay for it and all shipping costs incurred, right?
I have never taken my van to an automated car wash because I was concerned about the mirrors, but the name plate? How the hell did the car wash take the name plate off?

Re: Car Wash Attacks!
the plastic clips get brittle and the rubber grommets wear down over time.
just take them out and replace them. bolts back on like new.
all of my delica's were leaking back there into the tailgate.
just took them off and replaced them.
lordco or any parts store will have them. they're generic clips/grommets

once you get your new one, replace the clips and grommetsloki wrote:as he said, the part is broken, clips or not the plastic is smashed. call ccautos or mardy.
they cost under $2 for all of them and the panel will be snug = no leaks.
