Will this fit my Honda Civic?
Yes — this retainer fits the Honda Civic from 2001 through 2005 (7th generation). It secures cowl panel trim at the base of the windshield.
Why is this clip pale yellow instead of black?
Pale yellow is the OEM specification from Honda. The color can denote the clip's material formulation or application category; it has no effect on function and the clip is not visible once installed.
What is a double-head retainer?
A double-head retainer has two flanges — a smaller top head (12mm) and a larger bottom head (16mm) — with a short 6.5mm stem between them. The two heads sandwich two panel layers or a panel and seal together, making it ideal for layered trim applications.
Does this fit the Honda S2000?
Yes — the Honda S2000 (2000–2009) uses this same retainer for cowl panel attachment. It is a common Honda clip used across both performance and economy models of that generation.
Does this fit the Honda Element?
Yes — this retainer fits the Honda Element from 2003 through 2011 (all model years). The Element uses this clip in cowl and lower trim panel areas.
