Review on AFA Tooling 40 Pcs Replacement Bumper and Fender Clips for Honda and Acura - Strong POM Polymer, No Breakage Like Nylon Rivets, Fits Selected Models by Dusty Oner

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Will NOT fit 10mm hole as stated on packaging

The tabs that need to be pushed into the notches on the center shaft (or push pin) to fit the hole just won't come up squeeze enough. Upon closer inspection (my phone can't take detailed close-ups without some crazy blur to help with this description. sorry) it turns out there is a tab that wasn't cut during the plastic clip molding process, this prevents 1 in 4 tabs from bending . I checked a few clips to make sure it was only one, but they were all like that. 3 fixes: 1) carefully file off any tabs that didn't pass quality control, 2) don't buy this, or 3) enlarge the holes on the machine. Let's face it, nobody wants to modify their car just to make a 50 cent coin work. Guess it was cheap as it was, there was a reason for that. I had to replace 18 of my clamps and thought it would save time and would be great to have on hand. Buyer Warning. Other reviewers said it fits, but mine didn't. Either they bought it to have on hand when they need it and didn't bother installing it and they'll be in for a nasty surprise and be out the window to come back like me. Used on a front bumper where an OE part number was required but should be used instead to save money as the OE clip is over $4 at the local dealer. I have these clips and can't use them, find out
