Midwest Fasteners Black Plastic Socket Head Panel Retainer

Midwest Fasteners Black Plastic Socket Head Panel Retainer

The Midwest Fasteners Black Plastic Socket Head Panel Retainer is a panel retainer family built for fast, tool-friendly installation into pre-drilled panel holes, available across models 69145 and 69162. Each version in this family is molded in black plastic and configured with a socket head for positive seating, with hole sizing specific to the selected model. Panel retainers like this are used to secure bumper covers, trim panels, fender liners and interior body panels without the metal clips that can mar painted or plastic surfaces, and the plastic construction resists corrosion in rust-prone underbody and body-shop environments.

Key Features

• Model Options: Available as 69145 or 69162, each sized for a secure, snug mount into a standard panel cutout.
• Material & Finish: Molded in black plastic that resists corrosion and will not rust or stain surrounding painted panels the way metal retainers can.
• Head Configuration: Socket head design for a clean, low-profile seated finish once installed.
• Product Type: Panel retainer (clip/retainer category), purpose-built for retaining bumper and trim panels rather than general-purpose fastening.
• Color: Black finish blends in against most factory trim and underbody components for a factory-look repair.
• Consistency: Uniform black plastic construction and socket head design across both models ensures predictable fit and finish regardless of which option is selected.
