Tailgate panel trim clips

Post by tomhaigh »

hello,

I bought some trim clips from JK to mount a mdf tailgate panel, but the holes are 8mm and the clips are barely wider than this, so they don't hold.. I've tried looking on ebay for wider clips, but can't find anything - does anyone know where I can get some clips that will hold it on properly? my van is a panel van, so there was nothing on there before

On a similar note I bought one of jk's dash tidys, what a flimsy pile of pooh it is for forty odd quid.. its like a bit of vacform packaging. The two part one (with a fold out bit) in my old van is loads more robust although it is filled with that expanding foam.
