please help me problems getting worse!

the two screws that hold the gfx on the fender poped out of the fender, can someone please tell me how i can get to these screws???
in the pic below only one screw was out if u look u can see its off the fender ) but now the other one came out so its worse, how the heck do i fix this?? if i push the gfx the screws go in holes in the fender then just come out so the holes are two big now for the screws. i need info on this ASAP before it get worse or causes any real damage.


should i just take off the rocker z28 badge and drill two new holes???? this way when i put on the badge back on it hides the screws??
what should i do????

If they are held on the same as the 85-90 style you could pop the badge off and put a bolt/washer in there (with a slotted head for a screw driver), then take the wheel off and remove the the first few screws on the fender liner to gain access to put a washer and nut on the other side. Also you might want to use some locktite on that.

For the 82-84 camaros with gfx, the screws are located behind the emblem. Take the emblem off then you will see the two holes for the screws. To take the emblem off just use a thin flathead screwdriver and SLOWLY pry it off.

The factory screws are self-tapping. You will need the same if you go bigger, which is probably not a bad idea as they fell out of the fender. It can be tough to find a log self tapping screw though.
