FAQs

What vehicles is this retainer compatible with?

This retainer is designed to replace Land Rover OEM part number MWC9134 and fits a 60 mm hole size, making it suitable for specific Land Rover models and potentially other vehicles using the same specification.

How many retainers are in a pack?

Each pack contains 10 Connect Fir Tree Retainers.

What are the exact dimensions of the retainer?

The retainer has a head size of 14 mm and a length of 17 mm.

Can these retainers be reused after removal?

While some retainers can be reused, fir tree retainers are often best replaced to ensure a secure fit. For optimal performance and panel security, it is recommended to use new retainers when reassembling.

What is the purpose of the blue color?

The blue color is for identification purposes, helping to distinguish this specific type of retainer from others in a collection or workshop.

What if the hole size on my vehicle is slightly different from 60 mm?

These retainers are designed for a 60 mm hole. If your hole size differs significantly, they may not provide a secure fit or could cause damage. It's crucial to measure accurately before attempting installation.

Troubleshooting

Retainer won't insert into the hole

Verify the hole size is exactly 60 mm. Ensure no debris is obstructing the hole. Check if the retainer is being inserted at the correct angle.

Panel feels loose after installation

Confirm the retainer is fully seated and locked. Ensure the correct retainer type and size was used for the application. Check for damage to the panel's mounting points.

Retainer broke during installation

The hole may be too small, or excessive force was used. Ensure the hole is clean and the retainer is aligned properly before applying steady pressure. Use a new retainer from the pack.
