little clips to hold the door plastic protection sheets in place?
« on: September 15, 2025, 10:09:39 PM »
I have removed one door card to find the sheets ther but only a couple clips.  Any thoughts what I can use to replace the missing ones?

I looked for those a couple of years ago and didn't find. Duct tape was my solution.

There are various ebay sellers that do multiple varieties of clips, maybe they'd
now come up somewhere. I doubt they are unique to our cars, period Fiats probably
use the same. Looking forward to you finding some!

Plastic self tapping screws are a thing.
Worked for me.

I know this sounds like a bodge but.....

I used a piece of PVC tube of the correct diameter and cut to size then heated one end of the pipe. When sufficiently soft you then press it's end onto a flat surface and voila, a perfectly serviceable clip.

Cheers,

Steve
