Control panel with square mounting holes - how to fasten?

[Stefan H]

I have this control panel with square mounting holes I want to use since it has very little to no rust. However I can't remember how that was fastened. Did that use the plastic automotive type fasteners? Basically just plastic plugs instead of screws?

I think the Weber replacement part is #668

Or try to find something like this at an autoparts store:

Yep, that is what you need.

I actually found one of the plugs. I now remember that the panel was actually fastened with two of these plastic plugs. Unfortunately I miss the second. Need to do some more digging.

Stephan, those plugs hold the little angle panel that hangs down from the front.
You need the the #668 that J. Grotz posted to actually mount the control panel.

Dave, the plugs for the little front panel are different. these have a square rod which fits into the square hole. I forgot about that but I had another grill last year where the control panel was fastened with these plastic clips.

Stefan, I have not seen the black type plugs in the end of the control panel. Like Dave said, I have only seen those on the little angled trim piece in the front below the control pane. I wonder if someone didn't put those in there because they lost the square ones.
