Spare Hardware Identification

[YotaMerchant]

Normally I label my spare part bags but I wanted to throw my air dam back on for a few days and I went in the back and had an unmarked bag. Inside had 7 of the bolts (10mm) without the Philips head indent on top, 2 with the indent, and 2 silver ones. Can anyone ID? I watched a video of air dam install to retrace my steps and apparently it should’ve been 9 of the ones with Philips head indent..

The black ones look like the screws that you pull to add mud flaps.

I’m like 90% sure this was the bag of hardware from removing my air dam is my biggest confusion source

Air dam hardware is the black one with the larger screw pitch. I think 7 seems correct. 3 on each side. 1 in the middle

Air dam hardware is the black one with the larger screw pitch. I think there are 8 of them.

Yeah I thought this bag was from my air dam removal and I have 7 of one of the black ones and 2 of the other. I was trying to reinstall my air dam when I realized the bolts I had didn’t match the videos and posted this after. I’m guessing the 9 black bolts I have came off the air dam and maybe this is what the service advisory is for? Wrong bolts?

See update. 7 is what you need, I think

5 in the middle, 2 on each end. I just removed/replaced mine yesterday (off when I went off-road, back on for the freeway). I had not tightened mine enough the first time and they fell out, so I am using different ones I found in my stash. The originals were all black hex head with phillips as well.

huh yeah ive checked everywhere and all i have is 7 non hex top with blue loctite and 2 philips head top. I guess thats what mine was secured with

Could be different...new version? Or maybe I forgot what my original outside bolts looked like before I lost them .


As you probably know there is a service bulletin (or something like that) about the air dam coming loose. Mine has been ok (aside from my error), but apparently now they have better hardware. I will mention it on my next regular service in around 1700 miles.
