Each Original Equipment Manufacturer designs their own fasteners for a specific application. In many cases Body shops are using “universal retainers”. The integrity of these fasteners and retainers usually do not meet the same standards of the OEM specific parts. Manufacturers state in their body repair manuals and they identify non- reusable parts including clips and retainers ie: TOYOTA CRIB #188- “non-reusable parts are designed to be installed only once. If removed, they must be replaced and not reused” The amounts of OEM hardware including plastic retainers and metal fasteners that are being engineered and used by car manufacturers continue to increase every year. The lack of aftermarket retainers being made for those specific applications presents a problem of using the wrong retainer. This issue will continue to expand in the Auto Body industry and this will outpace the aftermarket suppliers possibly resulting in an inability to keep up with the manufacturing of these specific parts. Purchasing and installing the correct retainer leads to better repairs.
