Waistline trim clips

Post

Back to the top
Need new clips to put on the waistline trims I bought (Black plastic style on a clipper) and I see that there are 2 sizes of clip, do you have to get a specific size or will either do? And also is there a good knack to fitting and removing these clips without breaking them? Thanks

thers a little circular thing in the middle you need to push out then just pull them off.

you can get bags of new clips from ebay which include grill clips, waistline clips and another clip :)

Lots more like this on eBay

Just push the centre circular piece through into the inner door and then the clip will come out.

Then do the opposite when you put the new clip in, just put the clip in and push or tap the circular piece back in.

Ahh right so they're just like a small rivet, cheers, do you know about the different sizes? Or assume any will do

It's the white smaller ones you want and better if you get the ones with a little gasket, the red ones are usually for the chrome trim running along the sill (not fitted to cabriolets), black ones for the grill.

If you can get behind them you can catch the pin which drops out and reuse them but it's not always possible to do this.
