Re: Door Interior Panel Fastener
Posted by HH56 On 2016/2/7 14:36:50
Have been reluctant to post because I can't say for sure which is which. Both types were on various door panels thruout those years. I think the one that is formed sheetmetal might be the early one but .......
The sheet metal clip has a leg that is 3/4 long and wire leg is a little over an inch. The wide portion that retains in the door hole is approx 1/4 inch down from where inside of panel would be on both. The width of the part that fits thru the hole in door and retains is about 5/16 on the sheet metal type and 1/2 on the wire clip. The wire has plenty of give so will squeeze in. U shaped portion that slips thru the opening in the panel will accommodate a 1/8" thickness.
