I bought a set from W&N but have yet to open it. I am going to send them an email and see what they have changed if anything. I will send them the link to this post also.
Exterior moulding bolts
- Thread starter GRKOALA
- Start date
So- which bolts do you have?
Should I ask W&N to disregard the lengthy email I sent yesterday and just deal with you instead?
I don't imagine they need multiple emails about the same issue.
I already said I sent them an email.
I already sent them pictures.
I sent measurements and part numbers
I will post back here...
Wait a moment. You haven’t opened the bag yet and you are raising an issue with the vendor? I wouldn’t think that you would need to drag Don’s post into your email given that he is an avid large customer of W&N. He is regularly posting references to their offerings, but what they will see is his one post on parts not fitting properly.
Slow down boys. I am kinda unclear at all the angst based on my good intentioned comment.
I did not see that sfdon's set was received yesterday so would be the same as mine and that his email was sent yesterday. I thought it may have been months ago. My set is basically 2 weeks old and since there have been variations in the set over time, I was going to inquire if any changes were made based on his email and incorporated into the new set sent me.

Howdy-
Take a pic of yours and send it to me or post here?
Thank you!

Here ya go, Looks like yours unfortunately
Thank you Bob-
Oh boy... it's almost like the maker forgot one step in the manufacturing process.
Bob- I will get back to you on this and share what I hear.
Like I said, I bought a set from WN and can't use the bolt, if and when they 'spin' you have a real problem
The nuts are great though!

Thanks simon, I’ll ask around and see if we can buy shims locally.
Glad I posted on this topic, it saved me filling up the swear jar

Only Carl has them.
This might sound like a strange one to you all, but I head up the parts division at a local *shudder* Hyundai dealership
Was invoicing some parts out to a customer and noticed that some trim clips looked near identical to these, and were about 20 cents each. I'll need to run through the invoices for the last week or so to get the part numbers back up as I forgot to write them down, but it might be an inexpensive source for these bolts until WN get it sorted

finally a positive comment
Ordered the bolts, they'll be with me tomorrow and can compare.
Look a bit shorter than the original bolts, i'll see if they fit tonight.
I broke about five removing the rear belt line trim last night. Honestly I appreciate how much amfaster things go when the bolts snap.
Man the bolt underneath the passenger rear roundel must have been installed by elves. After 10+ minutes of unscrewing 99% of the way off, I hit it with a small hacksaw on the front. Do not try with a painted car. I’m guessing the rubber was hung up on the stud but that but didn’t want to come off.

its such a challenge to get a big 'mit' of a hand / arm into that slot to take that nut off between the fender and the wheel arch. can't wait to try to put the nut back on in that location.
Yes, get yourself a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt for that job. It is impossible to do without hugging the paint.
Not sure what the child labour laws are like over your side of the pond but I've been training my little nieces on how to fasten bolts in preparation for this exact moment.
It's much easier to pay your workforce in sweets than getting some of the nuts out on these cars.

Go on Ebay and look for some hemostats, I have all sizes and they have saved my ars many a time.
How did you go with the Hyundai nuts? Did they fit ok?
