I guess the years of my size 12 shoe and 6'3 frame while getting in and out finally caused the weatherstrip and retaining clips on the driverside rocker panel to fail. Upon inspection, it appears that some of the weatherstrip retaining clips were missing from the factory..which I'm not surprised. I scoured the F-TYPE parts catalogue and could not find this clip let alone the part number. If I order a new weatherstrip, that won't guarantee new clips will come with it. Any help on getting the part number for the clip?
I found generic ones on Amazon and eBay, but can't confirm the proper size needed.
I need the clips holding part number #3 on the diagram
I needed some of those clips a few years ago when I fitted illuminated tread/sill plates and I broke a few of the original clips when removing that sill rubber.
I still have the packet with some in it and searching the number on the packet brings up this Amazon listing: https://www.amazon.com.au/Mtsooning-.../dp/B07BQLSYK4
Amazon AU I know but I can't get around that!
Anyway they worked perfectly although from memory they are not exactly the same size as the originals, I think they are a little bigger and more robust than the originals.
The number on the packet which for some reason does not show on the web page is SZ100130053386RK.
Edit - that number does show on the web page, I just needed to keep scrolling down!
Edit 2 - it's all coming back to me - I now remember finding heaps of listings for these types of clips so I grabbed an OEM clip and measured it all around then compared the measurements with those showing on the various listings, and these were the closest match. The only real difference was they are a mm or two longer which should rarely if ever be a problem.
While still under warranty my 2017 had a similar weatherstrip issue. Passenger/right side, but up closer to where the door hinges, not an area that you would think would be hit with feet. Torn weatherstrip and missing 'clip'. Hope what you ordered worked out!!
