Got me haribos but my parts don't fit !

[shiplee123]

Got my ordered bits from jk
My next main job was to fit new door cards in my 68 panel
The prob is the door card clips won't fit even if I forced them , and I did order clips for 68 to 79 t2.
Do I drill out the existing holes or reorder different clips from somewhere else?

check out these ones on ebay 200873553218 fitted for me though must admit never tried the JK ones.
Had a few bits and pieces from this ebay shop, cant grumble yet.

my clips like that got skipped in ten mins! found some others without the cups far better...but I cant find where I got them for the life of me..so not much help really :roll:

 

[shiplee123]

Howie those clips would be better
The clips I've got may as well go back cos I can't use them. Annoying cos I wanted to get on with this job this weekend.

I'll give Alex (jk) a ring n see what he thinks - if you read this post Alex maybe u could pm me?

Can't knock jk for speed cos I ordered the parts we'd 3pm n they were with me by lunchtime the next day

Your trying to use them on the side door right? I've got a Westy and they had button top clips so a little different, the clips you have look like they'd work in the front door -check it out

Hi James, I think Alex is VWH, it's Josh you need for JK . Nick

 

[shiplee123]

Ops oh yes :lol:

 

[shiplee123]

I order from both jk and vwh
I think I'm loosing it :shock:

 

[NickJ]

:lol: I also use both and get great service from them.

Mattp I tried this when I received the clips earlier . The holes in the front doors are the same size as the ones in the sliding door and the new clips won't fit in them holes as well
The clips in the front doors are the original clips just like the ones howie mentioned that are on eBay there the ones I need
I'm surprised jk s clips are the incorrect size

Hey guys, I could be wrong and often am but when I ordered all my interior cards from J&R Autotrimmers they said early bay clips are different.

Mines a 69 and they are 7mm where later bays are 9mm. Apparently the smaller ones are V expensive compared to the later and larger ones.

Clips that fit 68 on doesnt sound right to me as mine is 69 and small clips. Just a thought as I say.

Hi there,

If you haven't already been in touch directly just drop us an email with the photos that show that the clips won't fit and your details then we'll be able to check that you got the right ones, or sort out a replacement / refund / whatever needs to happen. Roger is our customer services manager, so if you do give us a call it's him you need to speak to (there's also an Alex here at JK, but he's not here this week if you did want to speak to him!)

Sorry to hear that the clips don't fit, but we'll get it sorted out as soon as we can

Thanks
Josh

I had the same problem :? Early clips are smaller

I had the same issue with the JK clips and bungs so I ordered heritage clips and bungs and they were spot on.

Cheers
Sam

 

[shiplee123]

I think this is what I need , smaller size.
Josh your clips marked vw t2 68-79 may not fit all ?

 

[Skyguy]

Heritage ones fitted in my 71.

Josh these clips never fit a bay. All the retailers advertise them as T2 and beetle but they are only good for beetles. This has been going on for years and no one has done anything about it. The correct clips for bays are the bronze look ones with the EW logo.

Morning all,

I've been in touch with James this morning about this and sorted everything out.
Thanks for all the information, too - I've sent the info many of you provided and the photos from the thread to our purchasing department, so we'll be looking in to the suitability of the clips we've got in stock and then probably looking for alternative sources so we can make sure we're not sending out clips which don't fit!

Thanks again for bringing this to my attention and for the details you've provided
Josh
