Default RWD Saff Cossie rear wheel arch

The plastic inner rear wheel arch on my saff has come down away from the chassis. How are they held on and can you still but the arch from Ford?

they are held in with little plastic gromet type things. they just push through holes into the bodywork, then turn them to the side and they secure the liner.

Cheers Dave. I assume the plastic gromets perish over the years?

I dont think they do Rich. I had to take mine out to replace front wings, and all the gromets were in place. Took them out, replaced wings, put liners back on with original gromets and they are all fine and liner is secure.
