Dashboard trim

Post by jackcranfield »

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know what the clip that holds the trim in place on the dashboard is called? (see photo) It has been missing since I bought the car, so I have no idea what it looks like. If I can find out what it is called, I can order a new one (hopefully :-? )[frame]Image[/frame]
Thanks

Hi

I dont think there was a clip used on that trim?

You can soften the trim by placing in very hot water, It may then spring back and hold in place. Alternatively try a bit of clear silicone.

Edit :AU beat me to it :D :D

Thankyou, :D
I was never sure if it was clipped in place or simply glued, so I thought it was worth checking.
It would explain why I have never been able to find a clip for it.

A bit of blue tack may also help.
Cheers
