Midwest Fasteners GM-Style Plastic Push-In Panel Retainer Clip
Midwest Fasteners' plastic push-style panel retainer is a snap-in fastening clip engineered for GM applications that call for a secure attachment point without a traditional screw or bolt. This retainer family is available in 1/4" Hole and 5/16" Hole sizes and is molded from durable plastic, making it well suited for attaching interior trim panels, fender liners, splash shields and other lightweight body and interior components that rely on a push-fit connection rather than a threaded fastener. Each retainer installs by hand into a pre-punched hole matching its sizing, where the flexible plastic body expands to lock the panel in place while still allowing controlled removal for service or panel replacement.
