FAQs

What material thickness are these clips suitable for?

These clips are designed to secure Fabrics, Plastics & Fibreboards to metal panels. The exact thickness depends on the specific material's compressibility and the design of the panel's receiving slots.

Are these clips reusable?

While it might be possible to remove them with care, they are generally designed for a secure, permanent or semi-permanent installation. Repeated removal may compromise their holding power or lead to breakage.

What does 'D Type' refer to?

'D Type' refers to the shape and design of the clip, characterized by a single-sided barb for retention and a flat side for a flush finish.

Can I use these on non-metal panels?

These clips are specifically designed for use with metal panels where the receiving slots or holes are integrated.

What is the purpose of the single-sided barb?

The single-sided barb is designed to grip the edge of the material being secured (fabric, plastic, etc.) and hold it firmly in place against the metal panel once the clip is snapped in.

How many clips are in a pack?

Each pack contains 25 D Type Edge Clips.

What vehicles are these clips compatible with?

They are specified as suitable for Rover, Triumph, and Austin vehicles.

Troubleshooting

Clip does not stay secured

Ensure the metal panel has the correct 2.8mm receiving slot or hole and that it is not damaged. Verify the clip is fully engaged on both the material and the panel.

Difficulty inserting clip

Check for obstructions in the receiving slot on the metal panel. Ensure the material is positioned correctly against the clip. Avoid forcing the clip, as this may lead to breakage.

Clip breaks during installation

This may indicate the wrong size clip is being used, the receiving slot is too small, or excessive force was applied. Replace with a new clip and ensure proper alignment and technique.
