Clips for kick panels.

Sebastienclement · 30th October 2019, 18:58

Hi all,

Just a quick one. Can someone point me to some suitable clips to resecure the long kick panels (that seem to come off every 5 minutes)?

Tried a few that looked about right from local motor factor, but they’re too loose in the holes.

Many thanks!

We've found these to be a good 2nd place to the originals:

I found the best way to secure them was to place the clips into the trim, position the trim then whack the trim where the clips are with a rubber mallet.

I've seen a post somewhere, I think it was on this forum, where someone had used screws as fixings. They were hidden. Will try to find where I saw it.

I got tired of them coming off and the clips were broken. i drilled a small pilot hole and used a small screw. its not noticeable and strips never come off.
