Side trim clips damaged

Recommended Posts

LLL

Hi, I'm in the process of renewing the side trim pieces on my car and unfortunately on removal of the trim, a number of the rectangular metal brackets have pretty much rusted to nothing! The rest of the clips are OK and I have a good selection of new clips that will allow me to replace most of them - the problem is that I don't have any of the metal clips and I'd like to avoid having to spend a load of money on a full set of clips off ebay to only use a couple of them. 

 

Can anyone advise where I may be able to get a few of the metal clips on their own? 

 

These are the ones I'm after - many thanks in advance for any advice / info. 

 

Cheers, 

Rob.

If it helps, you don't actually need them. They are only anti rattle clips.

I have just rebuilt my car post full paint job. I found these clips new very difficult to fit over new rivets- to the point they where marking the new paint. Ive left them off. So far no issues , nothing fallen off , no rattles.

Spot on - thanks for the info. I'll refit without them and see how I get on.
