Trim clips

Post by fazzer »

Had a lot of hassle trying to find some suitable clips to fix sliding door card to door,all the ones I've bought keep breaking and if they don't break they pop out the door.Anybody know where I can buy some quality ones .

I can't see why you can't modify to twist fit. It only cutting the sides on the back of the clip.
