Pearl Automotive – Trim Clips (PTC115)

Description

Genuine Pearl · Part no. PTC115

Pearl PTC115 is a small drive rivet, listed at H10mm, L12mm and H6.4mm, for fixing fascias, dashboards and trim panels. You push the body into the hole and then drive the centre pin in, which spreads the legs behind the panel. It is the smallest of the Pearl dimensioned clips here, for light trim and thin panels.

Good to know

• What is the difference from a push rivet? Both lock with a centre pin; a drive rivet's pin is pushed further in to spread the legs, and to remove it you drive the pin through or lift it, depending on the design.
• Is it strong enough for a bumper or undertray? It is a small clip for light trim; for heavy panels use the size the car was built with, which is usually larger.
• How do I check the size? Compare it with the old rivet against the listed H10mm L12mm H6.4mm, and check the hole will take the 6.4mm figure.
