Does anyone know a part # and/or source for the plastic rivets holding the rear wheel well liners to the frame? Most of mine are stripped, and I'm looking for some new ones.
These can be ordered at most specialty fastener houses. You might be able to buy them online, I don't know because I get them locally. They come in boxes of 25, and you should expect that any fastener shop will only sell them in box lots. They don't cost much when you buy them this way - NAPA will be costly.

I just use 1/4 plastic rivets. Cheap, I buy mine in bulk from harbor freight. Fast and honestly they are easier to remove than the silly little plastic screw things that the car came with.
Just gotta replace them after installation but no big deal cause they are cheap!
if they are the rivets with the screw in the middle you can get 20 at an autozone or oreillys for around $5 or go to any gm car in a junk yard and they are all over!

the "Rivitnut" are metal, you need a tool to in stall them and they are perminet. I use them to replace all the factory rivits that you have to drill out to remove the body panels. the ones that use the 10/24 bolts are the right size to go in the holes in the fiero body with out having to drill out the hole. Just don't get carried-away with the drill when you drill out the rivits. The 10/24 SS bolts come out with a flat tip screwdriver, will hold a panel where you want it and are reusable, will not rust, you don't have to paint them. I dismantle a lot of fieros, I save all the plastic parts, FINDING them when i want them is the problem. The hardware store stores the 10/24 bolts for me.
