Best hardware for mounting to interior plastic trim (1 Viewer)

[hamishpotter]

I've searched the forums and either my search terms are not articulate enough or this topic is buried somewhere.

I'm going to mount a few items (power inverter, some plugs, outlets) in the rear of my truck, most likely to the plastic side panels. Anyone have suggestions on what screws, bolts/nuts are best for these applications? I'd rather not botch it up through my typical trial and error style, and I know a bunch of members have slick interior builds with a bunch of tricks (i.e. Luke111).

Any advice would be appreciated, or links to the threads I could not find.

just make sure you give it more surface area to pull on, use large fender washers on the inside.

If you're popping the panel loose to mount these items then toggle bolts might be a good option. Sometimes they work better in places where a fender washer won't fit.

Thank you 73Guppie and txgringo, that's what I was looking for. Will try to post pics when I'm done.

Have a good weekend
