Fir Tree Clip Alternative to EKM100270 - Page 3

Bite the bullet and buy the proper clips. EKM100270
Job done stress over

They need to be glued to the kickplate to be 100% effective

I never understand the logic of buying a cheap pattern part that dosent realy work that well when the OEM part is readily available that does the job properly. Maybe saving a few pence is more important?
Door cards only require one EKM100270 fir tree clip by the lockpin. A standard clip here will cause a loose fit.

They are not as brittle as OEM.

See item number 171047824397

The original clips were hot glued to the kickplate.

Hi,
