What are the exact dimensions of these clips?
The clips have an 18mm diameter head and an 18mm length.
How many clips are included in this set?
This set includes 10 Connect Trim Clips.
Can these clips be reused after removal?
While technically possible, these push-fit clips are designed for a secure installation and can be difficult to remove without causing damage. It is generally recommended to use new clips for reassembly.
What material are the clips made of?
The clips are made of durable black nylon.
How do I install these clips?
Installation is a simple push-fit process. Align the clip with the mounting hole and push firmly until it is secured.
What should I do if a clip doesn't seem to fit?
Double-check the dimensions against the hole and confirm it's the correct type of fastener for that specific application. Ensure there's no debris in the mounting hole.
Troubleshooting
Clip does not fit the hole.
Verify that the hole size matches the clip's dimensions (18mm diameter head x 18mm length). Ensure you are attempting to fit it into the correct type of mounting point for this specific clip.
Clip feels loose after installation.
Ensure the clip was pushed in completely until it locked. If the hole in the vehicle or trim panel is worn or oversized, the clip may not hold securely. Consider using a small amount of automotive-grade adhesive or a slightly larger trim clip if available for worn holes.
Difficulty removing the clip without damage.
Trim clips are often designed for secure, permanent attachment. Use a dedicated automotive trim removal tool and apply steady, gentle pressure. Attempting to force the clip out with a screwdriver can damage the surrounding trim panel.
