1998 S70 -- Door clips

Post by mar601 »

First of all, why are there red ones and white ones? (front drivers side door). They look identical.

Secondly, has anyone bought a bag or such on Ebay that work fine without paying 5 bucks a piece or higher? I need 3 or 4. -- tanks very much

No difference from red and white. I have found both when at pick and pull. I usually pull all the door panels in PnP when there and hopefully get a few un-broken clips out of the process for spares. As yet not found any on-line 'baggies' of these clips. Did find them for the wagon rear tailgate trim.

I also have a bunch from the junkyard but try to use a few new ones in each door panel to keep it anchored. I bought them from Lisle, they are cheap there ($1.60 each) but unless you are getting something else at the same time the shipping may bump it up to a disappointing total.

Am I the only one who finds the red ones a lot harder to pull out? Seems like any time a clip's head chips and the panel comes away without it, it's one of the red ones.
