Splash Guard Push Pins?
Just ordered the EOS Carbon Fiber Splash Guards for my C6 Base Model. From watching vids on UTube, it suggests that any plastic push pins be replaced once removed. There seem to be lots of these type pins on Amazon, anyone have a prefered source/brand/part number/kit?
Thanks, Randy

I had that same dilemma when my car was apart - did exactly what you're suggesting and purchased a kit for $10 off Amazon that had a variety of sizes and was able to button up the car with no issues (as the old push pins will likely not be reusable).
Don't have a part# or vendor name offhand, but any of the kits with multiple sizes will have something that will work.

Push pins are specified for the hole diameter. The best way to go about this would be to remove one or more of the push pins to get access to the hole and measure its diameter. Then go online and search for pins based on the hole size.

There really isn't any need to replace them unless they are damaged. If they look ok, just soak them for a bit in a little soapy water dish and then brush and rinse clean. They work much better when they aren't dirty.

Agreed. I've removed mine so many times for various reasons & have yet to replace any.

This!
I keep a kit because you always need one for one of the cars. Harbor Freight has a kit too.
