Panels & Covers
Unique lightweight plastic clips for cost-effective and secure fastening of soft trim, panels, and covers, like wheel arch molds, aero undershields, carpet, and insulation mats.
Wheel arch fastening
Fastening wheel arch molds in a limited assembly space but with simple and fast manual assembly can be done using a plastic clip on a T stud. If assembly space is less limited, a snap fastener can be used which is pressed onto a Xmas tree stud. This can also be easily assembled by hand. Both plastic parts are very well suited for use in engines due to their composition and can be used to fasten various covers and soft trim.
Aero undershield fastening
At STANLEY® Engineered Fastening, the aero undershields are fastened using plastic nuts which are fitted to the trim by the supplier. The nut has a molded thread to ensure fast and reliable assembly. Considerable savings in time can be achieved when fastening aero undershields using stud/clip combinations welded to the body shell. During final assembly, the shield is simply pressed in place.
Fastening for interior trim
STANLEY® Engineered Fastening offers you the right solution for hole-free, watertight, and sound-insulated fastening of interior trim. Plastic clips developed specially for customers' requirements are pre-assembled in the trim by suppliers and during final assembly can be quickly and easily pressed onto Tucker® welding studs. The trim can be removed several times without destruction; the same part can be used for all fastening points. This method is very well suited for door interior trim.
