SRT-4 mesh grilles and fog light surrounds- how to mount?

Post by Midnight_Rider » Tue Nov 24, 2020 2:54 am

Are there fasteners for these parts? I don't know the answer without removing the front fascia.

If they are like the standard neon fog light deletes, the lower splash shield needs removed, so you can reach up from below to access the fasteners on the backside of the fascia.

Sort of a PITA, but it's not something that is a daily task. So (like a lot of things) ease of access probably wasn't high on the list. :roll:

Fog light surrounds just clip in place from the front. The mesh uses push-in fasteners from the rear. You probably have to remove the front cover to get all of them.

Wow, so Daimler actually began use some brain cells.... That would have been a nice feature on the '00- '02 deletes.

Okay- this is the wrong topic category but I really need fastener part numbers for both the fog light surrounds and the grille mesh's so that I can order them.

The fog surrounds are one piece. There are no separate fasteners to use. They hang on with molded-on clips. Sorry, I don't know the part numbers for anything.

Fog light surround PN's are in the FAQ section, but not the mesh fasteners.


Search function still works....

As always, verify over the phone to ensure the PN's are still correct....

This looks very tempting, considering the FCA/Stellantis part is probably made in China anyways...

Not sure what the actual measurements need to be, but...

eBay want's between $13.71 and $21.22 each, because "Viper"

Nevermind they are used on a variety of other applications...

I already have the surrounds- just wanted to know if there are fasteners for them.

I have used the search function but sometimes the parts numbers listed aren't specific for a particular application so this is why I asked. Thanks for answering even though I asked in the wrong place. =D>

Could be worse- my local dealership wanted over $23 each! I found some for $11.50 each but couldn't have done it without your help. Thanks again!
