Seeing if anyone knows where I could find the proper sized plastic (or really any) nuts for the rear license plate holes on the 2009 Honda Fit's rear door.

I took it in to Advance Auto Parts and they said they only carry the standard nuts pictured below.
I know I could go all around town to Napa, Lowes, Home Depot, the local hardware store, and more, so no need to suggest that.
Just wanted to know if anyone knows the exact size of nut that fit into the top holes, and if I could order them online (and if not, what physical retailer may carry them).
I'm not at the point where I want to remove the indoor panel yet and thread some metal nuts through, but may do that if there's no solutions at all.

I had assumed I'd be able to find plastic nuts like the ones pictured on the bottom 2 holes, but nothing I've seen in person or online resembles those almost "Independent Skateboard Cross Logo" shaped nuts, haha.


Current rear license plate holder--missing top 2 nuts.


Fastener set I purchased that's considered "standard", screws work fine, but nuts are too large to fit into the top holes on the door/license plate area.

 

You could try McMaster Carr or Fastenal. They might have something that would fit.

 

The bottom plastic piece is: Honda 90601-SNV-P01 Grommet, Screw Price is $2.97 each, the diagram didn't give the dimensions.

The bolts for the top nuts are: 95701-06016-08 Bolt, Flange (6X16) Price is $0.96 each.

The parts diagram doesn't show a part for the actual nut that is welded to the car, but at least you know the thread size.

 

Holy crap man, stellar!

 

I had the same problem with my 2009 Honda Fit. Both factory-welded license plate nuts on the rear hatch rusted and then broke off. I tried welding a new nut but the hatch metal is so thin, it did not hold.
Want to try using these plastic screw inserts but might have to drill or trim the rusted hole to a better shape to fit the nylon insert first.

Has anyone use this fix yet?
