Replacing plastic shade hold downs

[Neil K]

Hello,

My wife and I have a 2013 Keystone Cougar and the plastic shade hold downs are breaking. I ordered new ones that are slightly bigger. I tried to install in same hole, but it didn’t hold. I tried new hole below it, and same result.
Does anyone have suggestion on how to replace?

Thank you,
Neil

One solution is 1/8" thin wall anchors: https://www.amazon.com/Hard-Find-Fas...ustrial&sr=1-1

Take a look at the "also bought together" items just below the photos. The Anchor Setting Tool is IMHO, a "must have"... It removes all of the frustration of stripping out the screw just as the anchor starts to expand. Makes for a much easier installation.... I know it's probably a "one time use tool", but when you compare $15 for a tool to avoid messing up the wall on a $30,000 trailer, it's not as expensive as you might first think it to be......

John,
Thank you for the suggestion. I will review both items.

Get 1/8" Hillman Pop Toggles at Home Depot. They are cheap and work great.
