Better Quality Plastic Retaining Clips

ladd2 · Oct 20, 2021

I was considering purchasing one of the kits off of Amazon or eBay of a selection of different kinds of plastic retaining clips and basic tools. Most of the reviews say that yes, you get a lot of items, but most of them are very low quality.

Is there a brand of kit that offers better quality plastic, perhaps at the expense of the number of clips/tools received?

Buy a pack of 25 and you are done. Whether or not it will last, you got 25 of them. OEM clips break just as easily.

If you find some that work well, do post.. I got some clips for interior trim pieces from AliExpress and they are single use at best. Guaranteed to break at the first attempt to remove them, not to mention a huge pain to get the broken part out of the car body. At least I have spares...

The plastic quality seems fine, but the dimensions aren't quite right. Part of the trouble is that there are many clip models with slightly different sizes. If the size is incorrect, even by a millimeter, it will cause issues.

I also got a pack of fender clips... totally unusable. Unless I did something wrong, they just aren't flexible enough to slip over the fender tab and they break 100% of the time. At least I got refunded.
