White plastic retaining clip, i found out who makes them…

[Tidewater]

So i have been modding my 2024 Trialmaster with few odds and ends, and yes i have broken a few of those white plastic retainer clips. Gone back to my dealer and spent $3 a piece. I got curious on the sourcing origins of the Ineos components, did some searches and Bamm! Those little parts are BMW E46 retainer clips! Much cheaper, cant comment of the quality of the items below but you get the idea. Next item is to find the head liner buttons. Will share when i find them.

Where are the clips used? Once I know that I can put a link over in Resources.

Are they used on interior trim?

Are they used on interior trim?

Edit: They fit the door cards. Possibly other trim locations as noted below.

My agent broke some doing the door handle campaign. I recently bought some off Amazon. 50 for 6 bucks delivered (now $7.40 courtesy of Amazon's algorithm).

I bought a broader set of clips some time ago. So I must check these trim clips are in the bigger set.

These ones should get you close.
It's possible to remove and install the door cards without breaking these clips if you use a trim tool where the clips are fitted. If you just put your fingers under the card and pull you're more likely to tear the heads off the clips - the bit that slots into the card. Dealership techs are always under time pressure. If they could use a power tool on this job they would.

That is what I was thinking, but I am in no hurry to remove trim to confirm!

I bought Peugeot clips from eBay that are very similar to factory. I even compared them side to side and could conclusively tell if they were any different in terms of the shaft that goes in.

The OEM clip part number is GRA-0000-038210, the dealer charges me almost $5 per clip! The regular panel clips are much cheaper though.

Thanks!
They look like the ones I broke in the rear Driver side cargo panel (over the wheel arch) as they have the full gasket and solid 'pointy bit'..
I've been looking for an equivalent.

Good info.

If you are tracking down different types of trim clips, then sites like this are useful as they show the detailed dimensions of each clip type.

The ones I linked are for the door cards, the clips for the panels are different. The OEM part number for the panel clips are GRA-0000-022200. They are much cheaper at the dealer (compared to the door clips) so I just bought them from the dealer. If you were curious, the dealer charged me $1.84 per clip.

I did a quick search on eBay and found some that may fit like OEM. eBay link
