Troubleshooting
Clip won't stay in place
Ensure the clip is fully inserted and the barbs have engaged correctly. Verify that the materials being joined are within the compatible range (metals, plastics, fibreboards) and that the edges are not excessively worn or damaged.
Difficulty pushing clip into position
Check for obstructions or debris in the area where the clip needs to be inserted. Ensure the weather seal and panel edge are properly aligned. A gentle, steady pressure is usually sufficient.
Clip feels loose after installation
The clip might not be fully seated, or the material may be too thin or too soft to provide adequate grip. Try a different clip or reposition it to a more secure area if possible. Confirm compatibility with the specific materials being used.
