So today my clips broke while driving and my 1000 mile new trim came flying up. What is the story with these clips. I wish they were made of steel. My 1st 914 had steel ones and they were great. Is one source better than another? They are waaay to brittle.

I bought new trim from SMC, actual Porsche trim which came with clips. I only replaced the ones I needed to. You can totally feel the difference. The clips that were still good and on the car would flex and the new ones were very hard to flex or bend even a little.
I also had a scare after a drive. Came back to find part of the upper drivers piece had come unclipped. Wiggled it back in until I could feel each clip "snap". Fingers crossed I don't see trim flying off someday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
