    Hey all!
    I just bought my 2013 Prius used about a month ago. I've been really happy with it, but last week I heard a loud scraping sound while driving and apparently the front right fender liner had come loose and was dragging on the road! I went to a car repair shop and they were able to secure it but I'd like to buy a new one so this doesn't happen again (not to mention the front right is missing the fender liner too, so I need 2). I know I need to buy some kind of clips or screws too, but I have no idea what size/kind/how many I need. Any advice? There are so many different kinds of clips and I'm at a total loss.

    Get the fender liners at a junkyard and the fasteners at a dealer. Will cost a little more but you will get the correct ones. Why are the fender liners missing/loose? Was the car in an accident?

    A good resource, though maybe a little short on fastener details. Think you want #9 here:

    Fender & Components for 2013 Toyota Prius | McGeorge Toyota Parts

    I've had that piece nearly completely off, and found one fastener, at the back of the wheel well nigh impossible to disconnect without destroying it.

    #13 I think, is the tricky fastener, that you need to turn 90 degrees (counterclockwise?) to release.
