Spent almost 60€ and they are complete rubbish.
Pourly fabricated. Round screws in plastic?. On the first wheel arch in 8, 3 snapped right off without even screw the nut all the way...
Any alternatives?

Wheel arch trim holder
Very disappointed with the wheel arch trim holders that are sold.

All of them sell the same Shit Man.
Nothing better than OPEL Stuff. But where to get from. Sometimes i bought damage Wheel Trims only for used Holders, 20 Years ago.......

Re: Wheel arch trim holder
I would drill through the plastic holder. Insert the screw with a washer from behind...

When giving torque the screw would rotate....

Re: Wheel arch trim holder
Right, you're right, shit.
If you try to attach the screw with a 2 component adhesive? In the plastic part milled or filed a little, so that the adhesive has a torque arm? Nothing sensible but maybe it will still hold.

Re: Wheel arch trim holder
I even made some by welding bolts on stainless steel sheet metal.

Where we have the left side and the right side.
On the left side of a woman's brain, there is nothing right.
On the right side of a woman's brain, there is nothing left.

Re: Wheel arch trim holder
Its not a problem - i did so years ago
I take the orginal holder with busted stud - drilled a hole from behind and countersunk it.
then i take a brass countersunk head screw and solderd a brass washeron it to increase surface.
I glued this with epoxy. I mounted it with brass washers with rubber on top and tiny brass nuts.
It lasts - absolut no problem - the orginal holder has the advantage that there is a lip wich seperates the trim from the sheet metal...
