Here we go again rear sail panel molding clip WRONG! Options

[TonyA]

Here we go again. Aftermarket molding clip doesn't work. Why sell this shit. See attached picture. The one on the right is original and the one on the left is after market.
Stud is to short. Can't get a washer and lock washer yet alone a nut on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)

It’s wrong but typical for aftermarket. I would cut it off and weld on a longer one. It’s the kind of thing we have to do 1000x over when building a car.

Often when I go for the low price and items from a certain country it seems that material costs have been literally shaved as far as possible. Machine screws fit, but they are loose due to lack of metal. To us, it seems a shame to put in the work to make a part and then have it be useless for lack of 10%. I deduce that materials in some places are worth far more than labor. My wife buys stuff from Temu. Clearly the makers don't have a clue about what the things they produce are for or do. In that circumstance, errors are possible.
