I broke a bolt when fitting my fender strakes.

You know when you fit the strakes and you unscrew the 4 screws behing the tire. Well one of them broke and now the bottom flap behind the tire wont stay on.
I have 3 screwed in and im wondering if its really important or will it be okay.
If i should replace it, shall i just go to the mazda dealership?

Are you talking about the plastic "pop-out" fasteners? The dealer should have them, also they are not exclusively Mazda parts. Our Subaru Forester uses the same fasteners. You should be able to turn-up replacements locally.

If you buy the front mask, you replace several of them on the front side with snap fasteners. Now I have extras, too bad you're not in Salt Lake or I'd just give you one!

I broke one when I swapped the sidemarkers and the dealership gave me a bag with 4-5 of them @ no charge.
