Door card clips keep popping out

Post by mariner »

So the door cards in the cab keeping popping off the frame of the door when either door is closed. They are covered in a leatherette material which is possibly a little thick so the door plugs take but don’t hold when the door is slammed shut!

I’ve tried putting some gaffa tape over the offending holes in the door so that the plugs take better but it hasn’t made much difference.

Any ingenious ideas or longer plugs available (mine are the standard JK ones). Would like to avoid screwing the door card to the door!

Be interested to know if you find any as I have same problem on the rear side panel so hopefully by posting this I will get a message if someone has the answer.

I have a feeling the aftermarket ones are no where near as good as the original ones.

I have had the same issue with genuine clips , the new door cats are too thick and most re-covered cards have to much material and it forces the poppers out
