Default Need help with sizing body pins

Does anybody know what size are the plastic pins that hold the top of the grille to the body frame?

I got my bumper painted and they forgot to put them back. AutoZone sells them for $4/10pcs but I need to know the size.

Thanks.

Well, the car was painted before I picked up the car and that was in another state. I just need to pick up replacement ones. I guess I will have to visit Volvo dealer.

do yourself a favor and go to the volvo dealer and buy the correct plastic push pins, ask them if they offer any discounts while you are there, hey, you never know, start a good relationship with the parts person and you too can get the stuff you need at a better price, good luck.

Call Volvo of Orange County (Yes, in Cali) and ask for Ebay Joe in parts... I kid you not.

It cost me $15 for six. They were $2.50 each. Considering that I can get 10 of those pins from AutoZone for $4.49 I would say it is a rip off.
