    Cladding, question. NOT a cleaning one.

    So I was taking out my cladding screws to paint them without realizing till later that there are different lenghts. I did not pay any attention to what lenghts went where.

    So who here knows?

    I have all the screws out of the cladding. Is it safe to drive without them? If it rains here tomorrow I either need to screw them back in the right place in the morning (hopefully someone chimes in where they go) before work or drive without them knowing that the pieces are safe.

    how many are different sizes? i know the two that go between the headlights and the grille are a little different because they dont actually screw into anything, if you lost the tabs from behind them (small metal squares with a square hole in them) you will need to make some new ones, i used a coke bottle lid cut into the right size to fit between the tabs back there (youll see or feel them) then screwed through that and they have been holdin up well like that for about 5000 miles
