Pearl Automotive – Trim Clips (PTC100)

Description

Genuine Pearl · Part no. PTC100

Pearl PTC100 is a fir tree trim clip for holding fascias, dashboards and trim panels in place. The ridged stem pushes into the hole and grips it, and it can be used as a permanent or a removable fixing. Its listed sizes are H18mm, L17.8mm and H7mm, the smaller of the two Pearl fir tree clips here.

Good to know

• How do I know it is the right size? The listing gives H18mm L17.8mm H7mm without saying which is which, so lay an old clip beside it and match head size, stem length and stem thickness.
• Can I reuse a fir tree clip? Often yes if it comes out whole, but the ridges wear each time; on a rattling dashboard panel, fit new ones rather than refitting tired clips.
• How should I fit it? Push it straight in until the head sits flat; a clip forced in at an angle tends to bend its ridges and works loose.

Which one?

For a larger hole, the Pearl PTC105 fir tree clip is listed at H21mm L23mm H 10mm; for a small general-use pack, see the Wot-Nots Fir Tree Fixing – General Use – Pack of 12 (PWN965).
