Hello, one and all, im trying to locate part numbers or sizes of bolts and nber of each fastner clip screw bolt u-nut ect that will be needed to complete installion of the outer fender and fender liner for a 1997 pontiac grand prix se 4 door automatic 3.8 ..i know ppl are going to suggest going to every part store and junkyard avilable on earth and ebay and amazon ect. Ive done that no one can find the the proper bolts clips ect along with no part # to confirm that its a dirrect fit any info from those who actually inow all the correct part numbers to complete this fender install only not rumors or might bes just fact! And no not even gm dealers or factory has information ive already asked no i dont have rhe originals as they were all removed broken after a collision and returned after a extensive and complete front end repair they( body shop) could not locate correct bolts clips u nuts ect to complete the fender install either any ( factual) info will be greatly appriciated! And thank you
 


Hello and welcome. Somebody is BS-ing you. You won't find the listing you're looking for here or anywhere and for whatever reason the dealer you asked was not willing to help. Salvage yards won't have a list either, nobody will. But thats where the solution is. You won't solve this with mouse and keyboard or phone but with ten minutes and less than five tools you can solve it with hands. I've heard requests like this before that stem from percieved wrongdoing in collision repairs. Go look at a used car if you need to see one all put together. I could throw down all the fasteners and take a pic but that would not fill your request. I find that if my questioning gets me nowhere, I'm usually just asking wrong.
 
get your ass to a junk yard and take a fender off, buy all the hardware.

no junk yards you say???? hit up another gm dealership, go to the PARTS dept, and ask to see a fender schematic. if the guy at the counter says he dont have it, hes flat out lying to you.

the dealer may not have the bolts but at least you can see how many you need.


then theres the rocket science where you take a few bolts out the other fender, match em up and use them........got to think outside the box sometimes.

Typical response i expected ...bs bluster but no real info... read b4 responding first in order to match both you gotta have both first...anyhow i tracked it all down its all good helps to have parts ppl who can read and use a computer ..junkyard is just that..junk ...not like every area in country has wide body gms growing on trees why put junk bolts back in new parts..no zip ties dont cut it either ...i can see why in 2009 pontiac was mercifully put out of its misery ....
 


blow me! junk yard clips and bolts are fine, your a tool. what you think we sit here with bolt specs in our pockets?


and just so you know, theres more gp's in your part of the country then anywhere else. mid west is the home land for theses cars. but we are all dummy's, and your not.
 
97-03 gp was built in Fairfax. Aka Kansas City. tons of GP goodness in the yards in KC. Get an alldata account and look up the fasteners if your so inclined to have new bolts. I'd just go to the junkyard. Quit making this difficult. Junkyard does not mean Junk.

I told you the cause of your trouble in the sentence after my greeting. Then a bored parts person found a way around your personality. Jam that 97 model turd back up your exhaust with all the brand new junk and go ahead and send somebody a fussy mouthed bill for it.
