• Soft dry cloth and alcohol cotton: To clean the installation surface and remove oil, dust, and residual glue.
• Tape measure (optional): For rechecking the size of installation holes and base parts.
• Non-marking adhesive (optional): For auxiliary fixation of buffer rubber.
• Tweezers (optional): For picking up and installing small fasteners and clips.

3.2. Safety Precautions Before Installation

• Park the vehicle on a flat and stable hard surface.
• Turn off the engine, engage the parking brake, and close all vehicle electrical equipment before operation.
• For exterior trim and engine compartment parts, wait for the vehicle to cool to room temperature to avoid high-temperature scalding.
• Clean the installation surface and holes thoroughly to remove oil, dust, and residual glue, ensuring firm fixation.
• Classify fasteners and clips according to installation position before operation to avoid confusion.
• When disassembling original fasteners, record their installation position and direction to ensure new parts are installed correctly.
• Do not pull vehicle wire harnesses, water pipes, or other components during disassembly and installation to prevent damage.

3.3. Installation Steps

1. Step 1: Remove Old Fasteners, Clips, and Buffer Rubber
   Determine the position of old parts to be replaced. Select the appropriate plastic pry bar:
   
   • For plastic push-type clips: Insert the plastic pry bar into the gap between the clip and the vehicle panel. Gently pry the clip cap outward to pop out the clip pin, then remove the entire clip.
   • For metal fasteners/clips: Unscrew metal screws with a matching screwdriver/torque wrench, or gently pry the metal clip open with a plastic pry bar.
   • For buffer rubber: Tear off old buffer rubber (adhesive type) or gently pry it out (snap-in type). Clean residual adhesive with alcohol cotton. Clean the installation hole and surface with a dry cloth and alcohol cotton, removing burrs and debris.
2. Step 2: Inspect New Products and Pre-position
   
   • Check new fasteners, clips, and buffer rubber for cracking, deformation, thread damage, or rubber aging. Ensure the clip pin and fastener size are consistent with the vehicle installation hole.
   • For buffer rubber, tear off the protective film of the adhesive surface only when ready for installation to avoid dust adhesion.
   • Pre-align new parts with the installation position and hole to confirm direction and matching degree, adjusting as needed.
3. Step 3: Install New Auto Fasteners and Clips
   Install according to part type, ensuring firm and in-place installation without forced operation:
   
   • Plastic push-type clips: Insert the clip pin into the clip base, align the whole clip with the installation hole, and press the clip cap firmly with your thumb until a "click" sound is heard, indicating it is locked and fixed.
   • Metal fasteners/clips: Align the metal clip with the installation slot and press it into place, or screw the metal fastener into the installation hole with a screwdriver/torque wrench (tighten to the appropriate torque, do not over-tighten).
   • Buffer rubber: Align adhesive-type buffer rubber with the installation surface and press firmly for 30 seconds. Snap-in type buffer rubber should snap into the designated card slot until completely fixed.
4. Step 4: Remove Protective Materials (If Any)
   Tear off any remaining protective film and paper on installed parts, and tidy up surrounding vehicle parts.

4. Operating: Testing and Adjustment

4.1. Performance Testing

• Fixation Test: Gently pull or press vehicle parts fixed by fasteners/clips with moderate force to confirm no loosening, falling off, or displacement. Check that fastener pins and clip caps are fully locked and not loose.
• Buffer Effect Test: For buffer rubber installations (e.g., door edges, trunk covers), open and close the parts repeatedly to check the buffer and sealing effect. There should be no harsh metal collision sound, and parts should close smoothly.
• Fit Test: Check the fit of vehicle panels and trim after installation; there should be no obvious gaps, no warping, and panels/trim should open and close normally without jamming.
• Thread Test: For metal thread fasteners, gently screw them back and forth slightly to confirm the thread is not slipping, and the fastener is firmly connected to the vehicle base part.

4.2. Adjustment Measures

• If fastener/clip cannot be pressed in or screwed in: Check for incorrect installation direction or mismatched specifications. Replace with the matching product and re-install. Clean the installation hole again if debris is blocking.
• If the fixed part is loose or the clip is easy to pop out: Re-press the clip cap to ensure it is fully locked, or add a matching gasket. If the installation hole is worn and enlarged, replace with a larger specification clip/fastener.
• If the buffer rubber is loose or easy to fall off: Re-clean the installation surface with alcohol cotton, and stick the buffer rubber firmly with non-marking adhesive for auxiliary fixation. Replace with new buffer rubber if the adhesive surface is aging.
• If the vehicle panel has obvious gaps after installation: Recheck the installation position of fasteners/clips, add missing fasteners/clips at the gap, and adjust the position of the panel to ensure close fitting.

5. Maintenance

• Regular Inspection: Check fasteners, clips, and buffer rubber of key parts (interior/exterior trim, door panels, engine compartment) every 5000km or during vehicle maintenance. Focus on checking for fracture, deformation, aging, and falling off, and replace damaged parts promptly.
• Cleaning Maintenance: Regularly wipe the surface of fasteners, clips, and buffer rubber with a soft dry cloth to remove dust and oil stains. Clean buffer rubber with a small amount of neutral detergent (avoid corrosive detergents) if contaminated with oil, and dry in a cool place.
• Thread Maintenance: Apply a small amount of anti-rust lubricating oil to metal thread fasteners every 6 months to prevent rust and thread slipping. Wipe off excess oil with a cloth to avoid dust adhesion.
• Buffer Rubber Protection: Avoid direct contact of buffer rubber with high-temperature vehicle parts and corrosive liquids (gasoline, engine oil, battery fluid). Replace buffer rubber if it shows signs of aging, hardening, or cracking.
• Storage of Spare Parts: Store unused fasteners, clips, and buffer rubber in a sealed plastic box in a dry, cool, and dark place. Classify and store them by specifications to avoid confusion and damage, and prevent aging from prolonged air exposure.
• Avoid Violent Operation: When disassembling and installing vehicle parts, use special plastic tools to avoid direct prying and hitting with metal tools, preventing plastic fracture and metal deformation.
• Timely Replacement: Plastic fasteners and clips are prone to aging and brittleness over time. It is recommended to replace all fasteners and clips of the entire vehicle panel every 3-5 years to ensure optimal fixation.

6. Troubleshooting Common Issues

Note: Always select auto fasteners, clips, and buffer rubber of the corresponding specification and model according to vehicle type, installation position, and use scenario. Refer to the vehicle owner's manual for installation torque and specification requirements of metal fasteners for key parts. For core components (e.g., engine compartment fasteners, chassis clips), professional automotive maintenance technicians should perform the installation to ensure firmness and proper vehicle function. Do not modify specifications or shapes of fasteners, clips, and buffer rubber yourself to avoid poor fixation and potential safety hazards.
