Hi, repairs on my 2000 Trooper are progressing but I need to find a source for the blue pins that are used to hold the trim pieces on. Does anyone have any idea where I can get them? I looked at the generic packs and I could not find it.

A picture would be helpful in identifying them. Which trim pieces specifically?

The trim pieces which go around the wheels, in my case front left.

Ah ha. Those seem to be quite unique. You can try Jerry, but I would just reuse the old ones and get more from the junkyard if you have some that are broken.

The pins you can maybe get at a junkyard but the female in the fender is nearly impossible to get out without them breaking.
I have the same problem and am trying to find a workable solution. I did find if you remove part of the inner fender you can get to the inside of the fender. I may even try carriage bolts and nuts 1/4-20 x 1 1/2 in stainless..

These are universal body fasteners, there is nothing special about them. Most auto parts stores have these, I would check with Napa first. Other suppliers are Fastenal, ACE hardware, Lawson Products and SummitRacing

I looked at all the fasteners amazon had i also looked at a fastener website that specializes in things like this. A christmas tree type push in plug needs to be 11 mm diameter and a length of about 35mm. I have ordered and tried several that I thought may have worked that did not. I have one more package coming in that I hope will be it.

20pcs Fit GM 1619321 Radiator Apron Panel Retainer | eBay this is what i am going to try next. 11mm is the size that fits the hole in the fender, I hope the length will be enough.

I just found out you can release the fasteners in by sliding a 5/16 Deepwell socket over them from the rear
