I had to remove the plastic underbody in the front. To replace the clutch components. I am having trouble replacing a small plastic piece that goes on the driver side wheel well. I just don't remember how to get it back on.

Hello,

For those fasteners, you want to make sure that the push part is pulled all the way out before it can go into the hole.

Here is a helpful video, it is on a different vehicle, but the procedure is similar:

I have attached a picture of the fastener as well as the replacement procedure below.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
