Product Information
Full details
This 10-piece set of Connect Trim Clips is designed for Tesla Model S (2012-2016) and Model Y (2020 onwards) owners needing to replace or secure interior trim panels. The key benefit is their direct OEM equivalence, ensuring a precise fit. A potential caveat is that they are specifically for 8mm hole sizes and 16mm diameter applications, requiring verification before purchase. The set features durable white nylon construction with an integral rubber washer for a secure and weather-resistant seal.

Troubleshooting
Clip will not insert into the hole.
Verify that the hole size is exactly 8mm. Ensure no debris is obstructing the hole or the clip.
Panel remains loose after clip installation.
Confirm the clip is fully seated in both the panel and the vehicle body. Check if the receiving mounting point on the vehicle is damaged.
Clip broke during installation.
Apply steady, even pressure. If resistance is met, re-check hole size and alignment. Use a spare clip from the pack if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, align the clip with the 8mm hole in the panel and the corresponding receiving hole in the vehicle body. Gently push the clip until it snaps into place. Ensure the panel is correctly positioned before fully seating the clip.
Compatibility: This set is specifically designed for Tesla Model S (model years 2012-2016) and Tesla Model Y (model years 2020 onwards). Crucially, they are intended for openings with an 8mm diameter. Always measure your existing or the required hole size before purchasing to confirm compatibility.
Care: These clips are made from durable nylon and require minimal care. To clean, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they may damage the plastic or the rubber washer.
