I took them off and can't remember exactly how the screws and washers go. I looked up all of the parts from a diagram and am getting all of the hardware together. With the speed nuts placed on the valances do the screws come through the car body pointed out to screw into the speed nuts? I noticed there are four washers on the front described as sealing washers. Are these the type that have a rubber gasket attached? From the diagram it looks like the first flat washer goes on the screw, then goes through the holes in the body with the sealing washer next then screws into the speed nut.
Thanks for the help! Jsaum |

Depends on what year your car is. I just did a bunch of research on this if you care about being correct. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
The four screws along the front of the car go from the inside of the car, out to the valence. The four in the back go from outside the car, through the valence and into the body. Sealing washers started in 1972, were the rubber backed washers, but were only used on the two screws in the front trunk. |

I've got rubber washers on front & back valances. Also. I have nuts and bolts (not speed clips) maybe 4 or 5mm. The nuts are set in the undercoating so I think they are OEM.

Nope. The outer edge attachment (on the wheel opening) uses a bolt and nut. But the four on the front and the four on the back were all hex-head machine screws originally.

Ok I think I got enough info thanks! I'm missing some of the rubber spacers that go on to the rockers, does anyone have a source for them other than AA?

Rubber faucet washers. Ace hardware.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Yep, 3/8"M is the perfect size. Use 2 per bolt.
