I'm thinking that trying to find an alternate fastener of some kind might be a good idea. Any push-in-fastener of the proper size _should_ work.
However, I think the design of the original arrowhead clip is important because it keeps the fender flare from sitting right on the body panel, thus there's no constant rubbing/etc.
So, perhaps a push-in fastener, along with a similarly sized thin plastic washer would do the trick. I'll have to rip my fender off and start exploring the idea further.

WOW, who knew the stealerships were trying to get so much for these tiny clips...I got an entire bag of replacement clips (enough for all four fenders) from a friend of mine who works at a shop. I don't know if they're oem, but they're exactly the same as the oem ones. They must have been cheap as i went to give him money for them and he told me not to worry about it (something he wouldn't have said at $6 or $2 per clip...perhaps thats the price for the whole bag? Either way, I'll be putting my extra ones in a safe place for next time i rub a tree....

price moves with demand changes. I know i popped the front left off just from wheeling. Only one or two, But i managed to smash into the garage door the other day and actually broke a good few of the right front ones. They come off so easy and snap its insane.

Anyone find any better fasteners that are easier to take out than the OEM ones?
I had planned on using some bolts and nuts until I realized you can't get behind half of the rear ones to do that. Not to mention if I was in a wreck the fender would completely tear up my sheet metal.

These clips look pretty close,
I might give them a try, the whole bag is what my dealer wants for 1 piece.
