  2. Plastic pry bar set (different sizes, for disassembly and installation without scratching vehicle parts).
  3. Small Phillips/flathead screwdriver, mini torque wrench (for screwing thread fasteners).
  4. Soft dry cloth and alcohol cotton (to clean the installation surface and remove oil, dust, and residual glue).
  5. Tape measure (optional, for rechecking the size of installation holes and base parts).
  6. Non-marking adhesive (optional, for auxiliary fixation of buffer rubber).
  7. Tweezers (optional, for picking up and installing small fasteners and clips).

Pre-installation Safety Precautions:

  • 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 engine compartment parts, wait for the vehicle to cool to room temperature to avoid high-temperature scalding.
  • Clean the installation surface and holes thoroughly before installation.
  • Classify fasteners and clips by installation position to avoid confusion.
  • Record the installation position and direction of original parts during disassembly.
  • Do not pull wire harnesses or water pipes during disassembly/installation.

4. Installation Instructions

Step 1: Remove Old Fasteners, Clips, and Buffer Rubber

Determine the position of the old parts to be replaced. Select the appropriate plastic pry bar based on the part type:

  • 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 the old buffer rubber directly by hand (for adhesive type), or pry it out gently with a plastic pry bar (for snap-in type). Clean any residual adhesive with alcohol cotton. Clean the installation hole and surface with a soft dry cloth and alcohol cotton, removing burrs and debris.

Step 2: Inspect New Products and Pre-position

Check the appearance and size of the new fasteners, clips, and buffer rubber for any defects (cracking, deformation, thread damage, rubber aging). Ensure the size is consistent with the vehicle installation hole. For adhesive buffer rubber, tear off the protective film only when ready for installation to prevent dust adhesion. Pre-align the new parts with the installation position and hole to confirm direction and matching degree, adjusting if necessary.

Step 3: Install New Auto Fasteners and Clips (Including Buffer Rubber)

Install according to the type of parts, 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 the clip 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 to prevent thread slipping.
  • Buffer rubber: Align the adhesive-type buffer rubber with the installation surface and press it firmly for 30 seconds to ensure full attachment. Snap the snap-in type buffer rubber into the designated card slot until it is completely fixed.

Step 4: Remove Protective Materials (If Any)

Tear off any remaining protective film and paper on the installed fasteners, clips, and buffer rubber, and tidy up the surrounding vehicle parts.

5. Operating and Testing

Performance Testing:

  • Fixation test: Gently pull or press the 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 installation parts (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.

6. Maintenance

Maintenance Tips:

  • Regular inspection: Check fasteners, clips, and buffer rubber of key parts (vehicle 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 in time.
  • Cleaning maintenance: Wipe the surface of fasteners, clips, and buffer rubber with a soft dry cloth regularly to remove dust and oil stains. Clean buffer rubber with a small amount of neutral detergent (do not use corrosive detergent) 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 parts of the vehicle and corrosive liquids (gasoline, engine oil, battery fluid). Replace buffer rubber in time if aging, hardening, or cracking is found.
  • 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 according to specifications to avoid confusion and damage, and prevent buffer rubber from aging due to long-term exposure to air.
  • 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 easy to age and brittle after long-term use; it is recommended to replace all fasteners and clips of the whole vehicle panel once every 3-5 years to ensure fixation.
