Will they fit the cowl flaps on my B-29?
Why did I not find these sooner. How many times did I go to an auto parts store and spend $4.00 for just 3 of rivets. I just opened the box an hour ago and it's Christmas all over again.
If you are wondering if they will fit that annoying hole in the 8-track in your Pacer, measure the hole with a drill bit and reference the chart in the picture I posted. They are 1/4"- 5/16" - 3/8" -23/64". If you can't do that get your little sister to help. They will fit anything in that size range, you just gotta decide how permanent you want them. All can be removed with the handy tool included. These are a great deal for a good product and you can use them for other projects beyond that tape deck.
As Advertised w/ OEM Sizes
I had to change out the serpentine belt on one of my vehicles, and of course such a simple job required me to remove the front passenger wheel and plastic mud guard behind the wheel in order to access the belt. I miss the good ole days when the belt was right up front and took all of five minutes to replace….but I digress.
This kit comes with a wide variety of these plastic rivets, and they don’t seem to be of any less quality than the OEM plastic rivets. The rivet removal tool is a plus if you don’t already have one. It really makes removing those little buggers a lot easier. If you work on vehicles, you know it’s a good idea to have a kit like this on-hand, because plastic rivets get brittle over time, and you’re probably going to break a few during removal. This kit will give you the peace of mind that you have replacements if you break rivets during removal.
Cheap insurance policy
I had to remove several under fender and undercarriage covers on a Jeep WK2. Every cover had a combination of 19mm (think 3/4") metric bolts and plastic retainer clips. Since I knew that "Mr. Murphy" was attending the cover removal, I bought the kit. Murphy did mangle several of the clips and the kit had exact looking replacements. The included clip puller was a bit under sized and a set of visegrips probably were responsible for the clip mangling. The kit is substantially less money that buying onesies-twosies in the "off the rack" plastic bubbles. Really nice not to have to reinstall trashed clips and worry that they will hold.
Nice set
Altogether a nice little set for the price. I have a 2005 Scion xB & have used some of the clips in various areas where they were missing or have broken, you have to realize that not all these clips will fit on whatever kind of car you have. I outweigh this fact with the nice quality tools you get with it. The thing I actually like most about this kit is the tools it comes with. You get all these clips plus the tools you need to remove panels without scratching the paint or interior. I already had a set from a while back of the plastic tools but never hurts to have another set as they can get beat up after being used a lot. All in the price is well worth getting various clips which you may end up needing plus tools that will definitely be useful.
Everyone needs a set of these
If you have a vehicle and ever need to do any maintenance on your own you need a set of these. Over time the OEM versions of these on your cars get hard and brittle. They either don't come off and you curse trying to remove them or they break and you have to replace them. Usually the latter, so best to have a good assortment. I've used these on a use car I purchased that was missing several up front under the hood holding some beauty panels on. Someone obviously broke most of them getting the panel off and didn't bother putting new ones on.
Good assortment of sizes and quantities. Expect these to last about as long as OEM and I'm sure after numerous years they'll break just like OEM ones do trying to get them off.
yesssss
the little pry tool bar that it comes with is worth the price of this entire kit on its own! you hear me?!!! that little thing has come in handy in so many different situations, its ridiculous. the little orange pry bars too. looveee. as for the little black plastic pieces...i don't know if they are actually meant for an 05 jeep liberty, which is what i bought them to use with, for my front bumper.....but i had a lot of trouble finding ones that worked with what i was working on. I made it work with some pushing and pulling and boring and what not,, but i don't think that this was the kit i needed for my particuloar ride. not hating though. it did the jjob and i am beyond grateful!
Great tool to have!
This kit saved me in removing my OEM plastic rivets. The tool works great in prying up the rivet. And the supply of new rivets is great. I was missing some rivets and was able to find replacements in the kit. I read that once these rivets are installed, you can't reuse them as they will break during removal. I haven't had to remove any yet. But, the kit comes with so many new ones that I think it's ok they break when being removed. After all, the rivets are a lot cheaper than what you have to pay at the dealerships.
Only needed ONE
I needed to replace one of those black plastic retainer clips that popped off my truck. I went to the dealer and it only cost me $2.00 plus tax. This time I saw your add for an entire box of clips plus a tool to remove old clips and I ordered it. I didn't need it right away but thought I would like to have a couple of spare clips handy, just in case. My Toyota is a 2007 and the clips pop off and break easier than they did previously. I have more than paid for the entire box within the past few months, plus I don't have to drive to the dealer.
Probably the best money I've ever spent on Amazon! Buy this kit, it's a life saver!
With a wife that hits every curb and every low hanging object in the known world, I have put the black plastic pieces back under her cars for years using anything I could find, and attached header panels the same way. This kit is a life saver! Has just about every standard size push retainer you could ask for, the tools included make taking busted old ones out a snap too! Wish I had bought this many years ago! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS KIT!
Works great and saves a ton of money!
My local parts store charges almost $6 for just two clips. My stepson has a Honda Accord and we had to remove the front bumper to change the headlights, and a bunch of the clips securing it were brittle and broke when we removed it. I paid over $30 for replacement clips because we needed them immediately. Once we were done I found these and bought them immediately. Same clips, just way cheaper, plus it comes with the removal tools and spudgers! You can't beat this deal!
