Pearl Automotive – Trim Clips (PTC126)

Description

Genuine Pearl · Part no. PTC126

Pearl PTC126 is a plastic lock nut for trim, listed at H19.6mm, L18.6mm and H8.8mm. Instead of going into a hole, it pushes or turns onto a stud or peg moulded on the back of a panel, holding fascias, dashboards and trim panels in place. It can be a permanent fixing or taken off when the panel needs to come away.

Good to know

• How do I know I need a lock nut and not a clip? If the panel has a plastic stud or threaded peg poking through and the old part sat over it, a lock nut is what you need.
• Will it fit my stud? Measure the stud's thickness and compare with the old nut and the listed H19.6mm L18.6mm H8.8mm; a nut that is loose on the stud will not hold.
• Any tips for removal? Old plastic nuts can seize to the stud; turn them gently with pliers rather than levering, or the stud on the panel may snap.

Which one?
