Pearl Automotive – Trim Clips (PTC105)

Description

Genuine Pearl · Part no. PTC105

Pearl PTC105 is the larger of the two Pearl fir tree clips in this range, listed at H21mm, L23mm and H 10mm. It holds fascias, dashboards and trim panels, gripping the hole with its ridged stem, and can be left in for good or taken out again when the panel has to come off.

Good to know

• Is the bigger clip better? No, a clip has to match the hole: one that is too thick can split the panel, and one too thin will rattle, so match it to the old clip first.
• What if the hole has worn oval? A worn or torn hole won't hold any clip properly; repair the panel or the hole before refitting, or the trim will keep working loose.
• How do I lift it out later? Slide a forked trim tool under the head and pull straight up, so the ridges come out evenly instead of snapping off in the hole.

Which one?

For a smaller hole, the Pearl PTC100 fir tree clip is listed at H18mm L17.8mm H7mm; the Pearl PTC143 is a fir tree fixing in a pack of 50 for bigger jobs.
