Introducing Plastic Clips

The Little Things that Matter in Auto Repair

What can slow down auto repair? Any experienced mechanic or seasoned car enthusiast will tell you it's often the smallest components. Among these, plastic clips are frequently overlooked yet essential parts in many modern vehicles.

The Role of Plastic Clips

Plastic clips play a crucial role in securing upholstery, lockers, seals, and even wires to a vehicle's body. During minor repairs, car owners might not anticipate that these original clips often can't withstand repeated use. They either break structurally during removal or get lost in the process, leading to issues like dangling upholstery, sagging seals, and misaligned wiring.

Preventing Repair Delays

Such problems can be easily avoided by replacing the original clips. The need for new clips is more common than one might think, affecting both service stations and DIY car owners. Recognising this demand, Febest Auto Parts has expanded its catalogue to include a variety of plastic clips. After thorough market research, we've added the most popular and frequently used clips.

Specific Clip Applications

Each clip type serves multiple applications. For instance, our locker fastening clip (fender liner), article number 88570-003, fits several Renault models, including the Captur, Clio, Duster, Kangoo, Fluence, Logan, and Megane. The original clip (part number 7703077435) is disposable and often breaks during fender liner removal. Febest Auto Parts replacement clip offers a simple and quick solution to this common issue.

Another example is our spacer clip, article number 88570-019, which is compatible with over 100 applications in VAG cars, including Audi A4, A6, Q3, Q5; Skoda Octavia, Rapid, Superb; and various Volkswagen models like the Amarok, Golf, Jetta, Passat, Polo, Tiguan, Touareg, and Transporter. This clip is an equivalent to the original part number N0385012 and ensures a secure connection between plastic components.

Screw Spacers and Complex Clips

Febest Auto Parts also offers screw spacers, such as the clip with article number 88570-007, equivalent to the original 91550SH3003. This clip is used to fasten the trunk lining in Honda CR-V and HR-V crossovers. The screw spacer ensures a tight fit, but the clip body itself can crack or break, necessitating a replacement.

Additionally, we provide more complex clips for attaching rubber sealing strips. These are crucial for securing seals on the hood, doors, and trunk lid. For example, our clip with article number 88570-010 is an equivalent to the original MU481027 used in Mitsubishi models like the Pajero, Pajero Sport, Outlander, Lancer, L200, and Galant.

Expanding Our Catalogue

In total, Febest Auto Parts has added 58 new clips to our catalogue, covering nearly a thousand applications. These new parts are now available for order, ensuring that one less small component will delay your auto repairs. Our electronic catalogue makes it easy to find and order the right clip, saving you time and helping restore your vehicle to its original condition.
