    I have a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I am having an issue with attaching the taillight assembly to the car. The two screws that are used to attach it thread through metal clips...but both the clips rusted and broke off.

    Does anyone know if I can get replacement clips or have another way to solve this?

    In the picture you can see the screw will go through the plastic hole at the top..but there's usually a metal clip that surrounds the hole that the screw threads through.

    There might be room to install a rivet nut then a bolt can be used instead of a screw. I used a rivet nut to mount my LED lights under the hood F291B89D-015A-4153-A208-9C7EB338754B.jpg

    You can get those clips at Napa,advance, or maybe even Ace Hardware.
    They are just a metal clip that slides over the plastic like a paper clip
