Installing GM bra
How do those screws/rubber grommets thingys install in the fender wells? 
The screws removed are the standard sheet metal clip screws but the replacements have a fine thread.
It's only 4 degrees here so I have a couple of hours before the Daytona 500.

I figured it out, they don't tell you to remove the fender screw AND the sheet metal nut.

Just stuff the rubber grommets into the holes where you removed the stock screws and sheet metal clips. When you screw in the new screws, the rubber swells and holds the snap. Sometimes they don't hold well. I would definately keep the bra in the house before you install it because it's a lot easier if it isn't frozen stiff

I contacted the manufacture and they sent me more of the course snaphead screws. The instructions are a joke and the rubber/fine screw setup is retarded and I told the company that and they told me that they would evaluate that.
Good luck.

Go to a quality hardware store or upholstery shop and get stainless steel screws with the button head for the bra snaps. They replace those mickey mouse grommets and screw right into place. I think those six screws cost me $2.20.
