FAQ

What exactly is the task / function of the component?
The retaining or locking element fixes cables, covers or components in a defined position and prevents relative movement, rattling or loss of adjacent parts. Its spring effect or latching geometry is functionally decisive.

How do you recognize a defect / typical symptoms?
Defects are indicated by loose components, vibrations, chafe marks on cables or inadequately secured covers. Material fatigue, broken latches and plastic deformation are typical causes of failure.

How do you check / test the component?
The spring force, latching geometry, freedom from cracks and the fit in the groove, bore or holder are tested. In addition, the seat of the guided component should be checked for play and correct alignment.

When should it be replaced?
The element should be replaced if there is a loss of tension, broken tabs or if it no longer locks securely. After dismantling brittle plastic clips, a preventive replacement is often advisable.

How do you check compatibility?
The OEM number, installation position, groove or hole size, material, clip shape and orientation must be checked. The thickness of the cable or cover to be fixed must also match the retaining geometry.
