FAQs
What vehicles are these panel clips compatible with?
These clips are designed as direct replacements for Audi and VW vehicles that use OEM part number 893867290. Always verify the dimensions (18.0mm head, 16.0mm length, 9mm hole) against your vehicle's existing clips.
How many clips are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 Connect Panel Clip Retainers.
What are the dimensions of this clip?
The clip has a head size of 18.0mm and a length of 16.0mm, and it fits into a 9mm hole size.
Can I use these clips on brands other than Audi or VW?
While possible if the dimensions match, these clips are specifically designed and intended as replacements for Audi and VW parts. Using them on other brands without confirming specifications is not recommended.
Are special tools required for installation?
No, special tools are typically not required for installation. They are designed for a simple push-fit application. A trim panel removal tool may be helpful for removing old clips.
What is the purpose of these clips?
These clips are used to secure various automotive trim panels, such as door cards, interior trim pieces, bumper covers, and fender liners, ensuring they are held in place securely.
Troubleshooting
Clip does not fit into the hole.
Verify that the hole size is exactly 9mm. Ensure no debris or damage is obstructing the hole. If the hole is the correct size, the clip may not be the correct replacement part for your specific vehicle application.
Clip feels loose after installation.
Check if the clip is fully seated. Ensure the panel it is retaining is properly aligned. The hole or the panel material might be worn, preventing a secure grip, or the wrong clip specification may have been used.
Clip broke during installation.
Apply gentle, even pressure during installation. Avoid forcing the clip. If breakage occurs, use another clip from the pack and ensure proper alignment and pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation is typically a simple push-fit operation. Ensure the 9mm hole is clean and free of debris. Align the clip and press firmly until it snaps into place. For removal, a trim panel removal tool or a flathead screwdriver may be carefully used to pry the old clip out without damaging the surrounding panel.
Compatibility: These clips are designed to replace Audi and VW OEM part number 893867290. They are specifically suited for vehicles that use this particular fastener for trim panels, bumper covers, and other components. Always double-check your vehicle's manual or existing clips to confirm the specifications (18.0mm head, 16.0mm length, 9mm hole) match.
Care: As these are single-use fasteners during installation, no special care is typically required. Store the unused clips in a dry place away from extreme temperatures to maintain their material integrity.
