    Default VH Commodore Roof Reveal (roof moulds) clips

    Hi all, does anyone know where you can get the push in clips with the 4 prongs on them that splay out which are used for the side rear roof reveal moulds? Basically the pin on the mould pushes into these clips that go into the hole on the pillar skin. I have tried genuine, none available, supercheap, didnt have them, had a look on rarespares website and couldnt find them.

    Any suggestions?

    I can take a picture of the clip tomorrow and post it on here. Best way I can describe it is that is has 4 legs that point outwards (similar to a push in badge type clip). What are you thinking?

    i lost my entire offside reveal mould. it was stolen right off the car a week ago. it must have been thieved by a scout for a panel beater who couldnt locate the part. is this becoming common for VH parts ? will the car be slowly stripped of parts wherever i park from now on ? is there an aftermarket reveal mould made here or anywhere the VH was exported to ? i think my chances of getting an intact moulding from a wrecker are slim.

    i know this is a old thread but im having trouble finding these push in clips as well. rare spares seem to have every clip except these. does anyone know where to find some or have people found a close replacment that could be made to fit. cheers

    I think i know the clips being spoken about here, I know Clark Rubber stock some of these type of clips.

    http://www.clarkrubber.com.au/

    Or you could try a panel beaters supply company in your area.

    ok ive found them here

    really easy company to deal with replyed straight back to me. there less then a dollar each only thing is postage is about $40 . but thats all worth it to get a part that is no longer available in Australia.

    hope this helps someone like it did me.

    I had my LHS 1/4 vent go missing off my car when it was parked at work. Funny that it happened 2 weeks after a mechanic moved into our work complex......
    Still looking for one to replace it with at a reasonable price.. i.e. not having to sell my testicles and right arm.
