Midwest Fasteners Black Plastic Push-In Shield-Style Trim Clip
The Midwest Fasteners Black Plastic Push-In Shield-Style Trim Clip is a molded black plastic retainer designed to secure panels, moldings, and trim pieces into a pre-drilled hole without the need for separate fasteners. This trim clip family is available across seven hole sizes — 1/4 Hole, 3/16 Hole, 5mm Hole, 5/16 Hole, 5/32 Hole, 5.5mm Hole, and 6mm Hole — so techs and fabricators can match the clip to the exact panel or trim hole diameter on the job. Molded from durable black plastic, each clip snaps into place and holds trim securely while resisting the corrosion and galling that can affect metal shield clips in the same application. It is a simple, low-cost push-in retainer for body panels, interior trim, and light fixture work.
