New OEM Fender

[YGBSM]

I have been Wal-Marted...

Walmart giveth and Walmart taketh away. I've saved a few bucks using Walmart's pharmacy. A couple days ago a fine, upstanding Walmart patron decided that my Gladiator was in their way and broke off the passenger rear fender. The fender came half way off but the contact point could be easily buffed out. No problem, I'll just push the fender back in place. It objected to that and left a gap in the front. I took it to Jeep and asked if the could pop it back into place. I'm so naive. The clips were broke... The clips are not an available part... The clips and plastic tabs are attached to the fender...

Yes, I know that I could buy a take-off. Yes, I know that JK clips can be modified to be used on the JT. Yes, I know that the dealership charges four times what I could do it for myself. I'm not complaining. I had this coming. It's the Carlos Curse. Just before this happened, I posted the picture below on the JL forum in response to Benny telling someone that the clips for a panel are not sold separately.

The Carlos Curse then sought $900 justice. The Tavares has been satisfied.

How many clips do you need? And you’re referring to the white push clips correct?

Odd that the dealer can't get them. MOPAR Part 68526185AA . OMIX makes a knockoff that are fairly reliable. (ignore years in the link) OMIX 11609.41 Fender Flare Clip for 18-20 Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT | Quadratec

All Walmarts have cameras in the parking lot. Why don't you make the other guy pay for it?

If they’re the same white clips that are used on the front fender, you can definitely get them from mopar. I’ve not removed my rears, but have removed and reinstalled my fronts with new clips several times.

Hit and run drivers are scum.

They showed me the offending parts. There are four large black pins that are attached to the fender. Two were broken and one bent back. They told me that I could get the pins that popped out and could use a plastic weld for the pins but they could not do that. I was also told that if I didn’t want to do it there were several shops around that could for a couple hundred bucks.

I plan on giving my sons both of my Jeeps when I stop driving. So I’m picky about keeping them as close to new as possible.

I just posted this for a laugh. I made fun of Carlos and he got the last laugh.

That’s silly. There must be clips to replace them. At least I’d think there would be.
