How do I know if my GM vehicle uses this specific clip?
Match the OEM part number 11561654 against your vehicle's parts catalog, or compare the dimensions: 18mm bottom head, 13mm top head, 10mm stem diameter, 14mm stem length. This blue triple-head design is used in cowl, windshield pillar, and trim panel applications across many GM platforms from the early 2000s through mid-2010s.
What applications does this retainer cover on GM trucks?
On GM trucks and SUVs like the Silverado, Tahoe, and Yukon, this clip is used in cowl vent panels, windshield pillar trim, and body panel attachment points. The same part number covers both cowl and interior trim applications, which is why it spans such a wide range of GM vehicles.
Why is this retainer blue?
GM uses color coding on fasteners and retainers to help technicians identify clip types at a glance during service. Blue distinguishes this triple-head design from other similarly-sized clips in GM's fastener catalog. Color has no effect on function.
How many retainers does one vehicle need?
Cowl and pillar trim panels on GM trucks typically use 8–20 of these retainers depending on the panel. We sell in packs of 15, 30, 60, and 90 pieces for shop stock or individual vehicle service. Volume pricing is applied automatically.
When should I replace these?
Replace them anytime a cowl or trim panel is removed for service. Nylon retainers on vehicles 10+ years old may crack on removal. Replacing the full set ensures even panel seating and eliminates rattle.
