Page 1


Automobile clips and fasteners are among the smallest parts of a car but are vital in maintaining the vehicle’s structural interconnectivity. However, they are susceptible to problems that are elaborated below.

Breakage: In the long run, clips can easily turn to be brittle as a result of exposure to some elements or even when they are removed wrongly and therefore they may easily break This is often found in the case of clips that are made of plastic and are used in interior trims

Stripping: Screws or bolts that are overtightened can easily damage the threads and therefore become useless This is true, especially with metal fasteners

Corrosion: Clips and fasteners are vulnerable to corrosion from moisture, road salt, and chemicals which might weaken the clips and fasteners and compromise their function

Loss: Small clips and fasteners are likely to get lost during the process of repair or maintenance, and therefore it may be hard to replace them without the correct tool

Improper Fit: Choosing the wrong type or size of clips or fasteners will result in poor fitting and this will lead to rattling sounds, gaps, or even damage to the components

These are some of the problems that one has to deal with Automobile Clips and Fasteners and regular inspection and proper handling of the car will help to avoid such problems and keep the car in good condition!
