I went to the local body shop. They sold them to me for less than a buck apiece. Weren't the exact same as the OEM but worked just as well!

I purchased from O'rileys Auto Parts the following

P/N 194-0663 by Auto-fastner Group inc. L.S.P. Products Division augusta Ky.

a box of 20 for $3.25

originally bought P/N 794-0663 same company but a box of 50.

I used these "buttons"to replace my inner fenders on my truck as well as on other places as

necessary.

they say they replace Chrysler P/n 3691690 GM332364 Furd 389368

works great I always keep a supply on hand they have many uses.

Those guys are nuts! Can can't imagine them selling too many of those over the counter. Thats the kind of BS they stick you with when you take a vehicle in for work and they add those ridiculous charges for extra stuff. Thats why they call them Stealers.

I just used sheet metal screws to put mine back in. The screws are reusable and it makes pulling the fender liner out that much easier.
