FAQs

What material are these fir tree fixings made from?

They are manufactured from durable nylon, offering good resistance to vibration and wear.

What is the specific OE part number they replace?

They replace Fiat OE Part Number 1301019808.

What are the exact dimensions of these clips?

The dimensions are: Head 21.0mm | Length 23.0mm | Hole Size 10.0mm.

How many clips are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 10 pieces of Connect Fir Tree Fixings.

Are these clips suitable for all vehicle makes?

They are suitable for general use on many European and Asian vehicle marques, but it is best to verify the dimensions against your vehicle's specific needs.

Can these clips be reused after removal?

These are typically designed as single-use, permanent fixings. While removal is possible, reuse may compromise their holding strength.

What is the primary use for these fixings?

They are used to attach and secure automotive trim panels, such as interior door cards, exterior bumper components, and wheel arch liners.

Troubleshooting

Clip does not fit into the hole

Verify that the hole size on your vehicle is exactly 10.0mm. Ensure you are attempting to fit it into the correct type of hole for a fir tree fixing.

Clip breaks during installation

Ensure the clip is aligned correctly before applying pressure. If the receiving hole is obstructed or damaged, it may cause the clip to break. Clear any debris from the hole and try again, or use a new clip.

Panel remains loose after installation

Check that the clip has fully engaged and expanded within the receiving hole. Ensure the dimensions of the clip (head and length) are appropriate for the thickness of the panel and the depth of the receiving hole.

Incorrect clip received

Double-check the product dimensions (Head 21.0mm | Length 23.0mm | Hole Size 10.0mm) against your requirements. If they do not match, contact the supplier.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting nylon material
  • Direct replacement for specific Fiat OE part
  • Broad compatibility with various vehicle makes
  • Precise dimensions ensure a correct fit
  • Comes in a practical pack of 10 for convenience

Cons

  • Primarily designed for specific Fiat OE replacement, may require verification for other makes
  • Nylon material may be less resistant to extreme heat compared to metal alternatives
  • Requires a 10.0mm hole for installation, not universally sized
  • May not be suitable for all types of trim or panel applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install, simply align the fir tree fixing with the pre-drilled 10.0mm hole in the panel and the corresponding receiving hole in the vehicle body or chassis. Push firmly until the fixing snaps into place, ensuring the head sits flush or as intended by the original design.

Compatibility: These fixings are a direct replacement for Fiat OE Part Number 1301019808. While suitable for general use on many European and Asian vehicle marques, it is crucial to verify the dimensions (Head 21.0mm | Length 23.0mm | Hole Size 10.0mm) against your specific vehicle's requirements before purchase. Check existing clips or consult your vehicle's service manual for compatibility.

Care: As these are single-use, permanent fixings, there is no ongoing care required. If removal is necessary, care should be taken not to damage the surrounding panel. It is often best to carefully prise them out from the edge rather than pulling directly on the head to avoid breakage.
