Will this fit my Ford truck or SUV?
This retainer is the OEM-equivalent for Ford N800269-S, which was used across a wide range of Ford trucks, SUVs, and cars from the late 1970s through the mid-2000s. To confirm fit for your exact year and model, cross-reference the OEM part number against your vehicle's door panel parts diagram, or compare the stem diameter (5/16″) and head sizes to your existing clip.
What's the difference between a double-head and single-head door trim clip?
A double-head clip has two flared sections — the inner head passes through the door panel hole and the outer head seats against the panel surface, gripping from both sides. This gives a more secure hold than a single-head clip and is much less likely to rattle or pull out under load. Ford used double-head clips extensively in door and interior panel applications across their lineup.
Is this an OEM-equivalent part?
Yes. This retainer matches Ford OEM specification N800269-S in material, dimensions, and fit. It installs identically to the factory clip and provides the same holding strength without modification.
How do I install a door trim panel retainer?
Align the stem with the hole in the door panel, then press firmly until the outer head seats flush against the panel surface and you feel the inner head click through. To remove, use a trim panel tool under the outer head to pry the clip free — do not pull the panel directly or you risk tearing the panel or breaking the clip. If clips are 10+ years old, replace the full set rather than reusing them.
Can I order in bulk?
Yes — available in 25, 50, 100, and 150-piece quantities. Volume pricing applied automatically at checkout. Most Ford door panels use 8–15 of these clips per door, so stocking a full bag covers a complete vehicle refresh.
