Inner Fender Piece broke

So i guess my push pins gave out the other night well cruisin on the highway at 200kmh... luckily it snaped and i ran over it so no extra damage but that inner piece that protects the passenger side oil cooler from stuff coming off the tire. Amazon says its part #F1515613YB im just wondering if anyone has a diy or idea to replace the plastic pieces in the inner fender and holds better then the push pin system at higher speeds.

You may be able to use a thin strip of double sided tape to re-enforce the pins, or if you're willing to go through the trouble, you may be able to insert a small metal bolt and nut if you fold the flap which attaches to the under tray back so you can get your hands in.

Sucks losing those. I lost an under tray, the same splash guard as you, and the OEM side skirt cause of roadkill.

I bought my car with one missing and another barely hanging on. After buying the car, my first stop was an auto parts store for some pins. They didn't work too well but I was able to get a 20 pack from eBay. Get the ones with the Philips style screw, they are awesome. I went through them pretty quick just replacing broken pins and ended up getting a 50 pack. The fender liner that protects the oil cooler wasn't that bad. Probably less than $50 which is much cheaper than a rock through an oil cooler. If I'm extra motivated I'll try posting up some install pictures from an actual computer.

I don't have any pictures from the install, It's not so bad, you just hold it up, push the clips in, then the clip spreader screw thing. I recommend you get this pack, I'm pretty sure it's the right size though you should probably double check. The quality is surprisingly good for the price.
