So..i push the plastic screw part through and then screw in the screw? And im assuming u use the hair dryer when its off the car and just do the best you can to get it straight? Hm and if you recall exactly what size drill bit did you use?

RE: Mach 1 chin problem
When you screw in the screw, it expands the wall of the cone shaped insert the screw is in and it keeps the whole screw assembly from backing out. Its not a bad method and it should work fine. I think those screws are typical for mounting the inner wheel well to front fenders on most cars.
