NVH from inner fender

[Mick1]

Ok so i finished front brake job this evening and since i was staring at the fender I was reminded of the annoying rattle noise from my inner fender that has been present on and off for a long time.

The noise is coming from the rubber / plastic piece flapping around inside the front fender because the little black plastic push pieces do not hold it tight. I looked online for replacement pieces a while back but didnt find a matching part.

Does anyone know an online source to order replacements?

This EXACT rattle drove me NUTSO for about 2 weeks! I mean I was literally gonna sell the damn truck if I couldn't figure it out.

It wouldn't stay clipped for more than a day or so either. I wrapped the "inserted end" of the clip with electrical tape and tapped it into the hole. Been fine for months now.

Yeah lol i guess ive been patient. mine has been this way on and off probably since i did the suspension install like 4 years ago. Took a long time to figure it out.

Right now i do have the top one zip tied and it is tight and makes no noise but the second piece is causing a slight rattle. It actually sounds like it is coming from driver side rear door or wheel well, but i know it is the front inner fender. I may try the tape trick but would like to just order some new pieces.

I ordered a bunch of replacement clips for the hood plastic piece and have been happy with them.

Bty the front brake job was just to fix a vibration that was so annoying i would have sold the truck. Toyota dealer machined the rotors last year but did not fix the problem.
