Body Clips & Retainer Fasteners for All Makes

Push pins, body clips, and retainer clips are the fasteners that hold trim panels, bumper covers, splash shields, and interior components securely in place. These small plastic and metal fasteners break during disassembly and are essential to have on hand before any body or interior work to avoid rattles and loose panels after the job.

Popular Upgrades

OEM-spec push pin retainers for bumper covers and fender liners are the most frequently replaced fasteners after any front-end or body panel removal. Door panel retainer clips that match factory specifications prevent interior rattles and ensure a tight fit without cracking the surrounding trim. Assorted clip kits covering multiple sizes are popular for shops and serious DIYers who want to have the right fastener on hand without ordering single pieces.

What clips hold bumper covers in place?

Most bumper covers use a combination of push-pin retainers along the top edge and plastic snap clips along the lower valance. The specific clip size and type varies by make, model, and year, so referencing your vehicle's OEM part number or a fitment chart ensures the correct replacement. Common sizes run from 6mm to 10mm diameter depending on the application.

Do aftermarket clips perform as well as OEM?

Quality aftermarket clips manufactured to OEM specifications perform equally well and are generally available at lower cost than dealer-sourced parts. Look for clips made from nylon or polypropylene that matches the original specification. Avoid low-quality substitutes that are brittle or undersized, as they will fail to hold panels securely over time.
