    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum.

Car was serviced by hyundai , and i notice some of the plastic bolts for Engine Room Cover are missing . I counted about 12- 13 bolts holding the cover , and 3 more on top .

Can you please help me with the exact specification of this plastic bolt - so that i can buy a dozen or so from local auto parts . Dont want to drive back to Hyundai for this small thing.

This is the Engine Room Plastic Cover i am referring to .

Cannot understand how they miss to put in all these plastic bolts back . They did put about 8 or so . This is just basic ignorance.
Hope they did not forget to put some else that is critical.
 
Has anyone purchased a retainer clip kit from Amazon containing the push style clips used under the hood? Any recommendations?
 
Go to the parts department at the dealer and tell them you're missing about a dozen push clips after your last service there. Chances are they'll hand you a big bag of clips for free.
 
I got a bag of 100 for $7 on amazon, and they fit well:

Amazon.com: MOTOALL Nylon Fender Liner Door Trim Panel Bumper Shield Retainer Fastener Rivet Push Type Clips for 8mm Hole Ford Mazda Hyundai Kia MB-455-56143 86590-28000 Car Auto Body - 100pcs: Automotive

The flat heat is a larger in diameter than stock, but that didn't seem to be a problem on any of the attachment points.

They are threaded like a screw, you spin the head to remove.

I should add, these ^ are a little more difficult to remove than the ones you "pop up" with a flat blade to get them back out, or the ones where you push in one step further. They have a lot more plastic in them, pretty heavy duty. Probably not the best choice for something that will routinely be removed, but when you get 100, they can be tossed if you bugger one up.

Thanks! Ordered some. Mysteriously all those are gone on my son's 2011 Genesis Sedan as well. But whoever worked on it, left a big ole socket sitting in the engine bay. Thankfully it did not roll off into the engine.
