Interesting...the instructions I saw said to always replace the clips with new ones, since they're "cheap and easy to find".

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can someone help me find the part # for this clip? Thanks, E-

POST 2Original post

Looking at the part diagrams it doesn't list that as a separate part, from what I can see: Might have to see if anyone on the forum has spares?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Interesting...the instructions I saw said to always replace the clips with new ones, since they're "cheap and easy to find". Well, I've been unable to find them. Maybe I'll be able to reuse the once that I remove. Just figured I'd put new ones on, if I could. Thanks for your help.

POST 4Original post

I imagine the reason to replace would be if they loosen over time, I wouldn't worry about steel retaining clips on a plastic assembly being damaged or fatigued. If they're a bit loose, I'd just gently tighten them with pliers. I've done that with spark plug leads and other similar stamped bits that need to be tight before, with great success.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Turns out the design on my car was slightly different. It didn't have the metal clips.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
