Midwest Fasteners Black Plastic Flex Panel Retainer Clip

Midwest Fasteners Black Plastic Flex Panel Retainer Clip

The Midwest Fasteners Black Plastic Flex Panel Retainer Clip is a clip-style, non-threaded retainer built to hold trim panels, shields, and lightweight covers in place without a separate threaded fastener. This flex retainer family is available in hole sizes ranging from 7/64 Hole up through 3/8 Hole, including 3/16 Hole, 9/32 Hole, and 13/64 Hole options, so technicians and fabricators can match the clip to the exact pre-drilled mounting hole on the panel or trim piece being serviced. Molded from black plastic, every size in the family installs by hand and flexes to seat firmly in the hole, holding steady under normal vibration and handling. Each clip is a direct match for applications originally specced with a hole-style panel retainer of this type, making it a simple, low-cost way to secure panels on automotive, appliance, and general equipment assemblies.

Key Features

• Available Sizes: Offered in 7/64 Hole, 13/64 Hole, 3/16 Hole, 9/32 Hole, and 3/8 Hole versions to match standard panel and trim mounting hole diameters.
• Material & Finish: Molded plastic construction in a black finish that resists corrosion and will not rust like a metal clip.
• Type: A flex-style panel retainer clip rather than a threaded fastener, allowing tool-free or minimal-tool installation into pre-drilled holes.
• Flexible Body: The plastic body flexes to seat into the mounting hole and grip securely, holding panels and trim pieces firmly in position.
• Low-Profile Design: Compact retainer profile keeps the installed hardware unobtrusive on finished panel surfaces.
• Consistent Family Fit: Every hole-size option in the family shares the same black plastic construction and flex-clip design, simplifying stocking across multiple mounting hole diameters.
