Hello friends.

One of the smallest on harmful problems is broken fastener clips (rivet) on our XK8 door cards. It is very expensive from dealers - well, this is as always - and is not available. Only to order and wait, wait, wait.

Broken fastener clip of the door card

I looked at my door for a long time, and at last I decided to pull out a white nylon insert of metal of the door. And there will remain a hole 8 mm in diameter.

Instead of the original fastener clip, you can take any plastic fastener clip. 100 pieces for one dollar. The main thing is that they have a size in the narrow part of 6-7 mm, and in the wide part 9 mm.

Any clips which I found on my garage

6.5 mm and 9 mm


They calmly dress in their place on the door card. And just perfectly fix the door card in 8 mm holes in the metal door.

Good one Rus.

We call them 'Fir Tree' fasteners in the UK. I don't know if that description is used elsewhere.
