FAQs

What vehicles are these clips compatible with?

These retainers are specifically designed to replace Audi & VW OEM part number 70186729901C. They are suitable for general automotive use where an 8.2mm hole size is required for trim panel fastening.

What material are the retainers made from?

The retainers are manufactured from durable nylon, which is a common and effective material for automotive clips.

How many retainers are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 10 screw rivet retainers, supplied in a blister clam pack.

What are the exact dimensions of the retainer?

The retainer has a head size of 18.3mm, a length of 12.1mm, and is designed to fit into a hole size of 8.2mm.

Can these be used on non-Audi or VW vehicles?

Yes, they can be used on any vehicle requiring an 8.2mm hole size for a similar screw rivet trim clip, although they are direct replacements for specific Audi & VW part numbers.

Are these retainers reusable?

While they can sometimes be carefully removed and reused, they are generally intended as replacement fasteners. Care should be taken during removal to avoid damage.

How do I install the retainer?

Align the retainer with the pre-drilled hole (8.2mm) in the trim panel and the corresponding hole in the vehicle body, then push firmly until seated. For types with a screw mechanism, turn clockwise to secure.

Troubleshooting

Retainer does not fit snugly

Verify that the hole diameter is exactly 8.2mm. If the hole is too large, the retainer may not hold securely. Ensure no debris is obstructing the insertion.

Retainer is difficult to insert

Check for any burrs or obstructions in the 8.2mm hole. A slight chamfer on the edge of the hole can aid insertion. Ensure the trim panel is properly aligned.

Trim panel feels loose after installation

Confirm that the correct retainer was used and that it was fully seated. Check that the corresponding mounting points on the trim panel are intact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

These screw rivet retainers are designed to replace Audi & VW OEM part number 70186729901C. They are suitable for use in holes measuring 8.2mm in diameter. Always verify the original clip type and hole size before attempting replacement.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the receiving hole is clean and free of debris.
  2. Align the retainer with the hole in the trim panel and the corresponding hole in the vehicle body.
  3. Push the retainer into the hole until it sits flush.
  4. If the retainer has a screw element, use a screwdriver to turn it clockwise until secure. For this specific rivet type, ensure it is pressed firmly into place.

Care:

These retainers are designed for single-use replacement in most cases. If removal is necessary, do so carefully to avoid damaging the surrounding trim or the panel. Clean the area around the clip insertion point with a dry or slightly damp cloth if needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may degrade the nylon material.
