Hello folks, I have 2006 Nissan Sentra, 1.8S and 2015 Subaru Forester Premium w/ EyeSight. Both the vehicles have a lot of retainer clips. I have already broken a couple of them. I found few universal retainer clip kits. There are some differences in the clips in each kit. So I wonder which kit is …

I doubt you’d need any other clips if you bought either of them before you junked the car for other reasons. I think I’ve gone through something like 7 on my MR2, and that’s 24 years old.

Have you taken the old clip or pin to a parts house and tried to match it in stead of buy a couple of hundred pins you will never use or even the dealer.

Typically buying one of the kits gets you a bunch of different styles used on number of different types of cars. Either would likely work fine for you. For the DIY’er, that will empty the sections of pins used for your car (or cars) and leave the rest to collect dust or trade with your friends. Mos…

I’ve got a few of various ones on hand from previous projects but the best is just go down to NAPA or the dealer and get the ones that match the broken ones. They aren’t cheap but you usually don’t need a lot. Otherwise it looks like kit 1 would be the most useful.

Thanks folks. Believe me, if they are a perfect fit, I will be using at least 20 for Subaru and 5 for Sentra. Out of those 20 for Subaru, 4 are different. The cost of these Subaru pins (at the dealership, didn’t check autozone) is more than the cost of the either of the kits. Plus, I like to have t…

[image] Noelm: if they are a perfect fit, I will be using at least 20 for Subaru and 5 for Sentra. The problem is that the Subie might use 10 different clips and the Sentra might use five different clips. Some years back I gutted my car’s interior, installed soundproofing, and reinstalled ev…

I feel your pain, I have a bumper clip, only loose corner, but gave up and said heck it is 14 years old and let it go, the rod it was supposed to connect to was broke off, rusted off or whatever.

When you buy these sets of clips or any other supply, like some have said, you use up the ones that fit your car and end up with a garage full of stuff that just clutters up your life. It’s hard to toss it, because it feels wasteful and because you can convince yourself that you will need it someda…

I’ve preferred to use the Clips and Fasteners site. You can search by brand of car and it has been generally easy to identify the specific fastener that I need rather than buying a bunch that I don’t really want.

Seems like might be a good assortment to have on hand to me. I don’t know how many will actually fit your cars though. I’ve had to replace a bunch of clips on my Chevy. Going to the parts store or ordering them can be a hassle. I’ve had to take my door panels off a few times and most of the clips wi…
