1985 Ford F-150 - Retaining Clips & Connectors

Panel Clips, Rivets, and Retainers

The bumpers, trim panels, insulation, and more on your vehicle require a variety of retainers, clips, and hardware to stay in place and be properly aligned. These parts are often made of plastic and can degrade over time, or may be damaged in an accident or during removal to access a repair area. When this happens, it may allow the panel to sag or fall out of alignment, and if enough of your panel clips, bumper rivets, or push retainers have failed, it could cause the panel to fall off of the vehicle. Shop the selection of retainers, clips, and fasteners at O'Reilly Auto Parts to find the right ones for your next repair.

Snap Rings, E-Clips, and Cable Bushings

Throughout your vehicle, you may find several types of retainers designed to attach components and allow for rotation. These are common on accelerator and transmission cable linkages, but may also be found in a variety of other places on the vehicle. Snap rings and E-clips are designed to be installed using snap ring pliers or by simply pushing the retainer in place, and are retained using their own pressure. Cable bushings and retainers also typically push on and may also be retained using a snap ring or E-clip, and are designed to keep the connection at the cable eye tight and reduce play while allowing the joint to articulate to prevent binding or damage. If you need replacement snap rings, E-clips, or cable retainers, O'Reilly carries all the hardware needed to ensure a secure connection.

Wire Loom Clips and Hold-Down Hardware

When the wiring in your vehicle is installed, wire loom clips and retainers are often built into the loom that allow it to be routed through the engine compartment, interior, and more. This not only prevents the wiring from moving and ensures its stays in place, but also prevents vibrations or contact with other parts of the vehicle from wearing holes in the wires that could cause arcing and short-circuiting. Whether the wire loom connectors, hold-downs, or clips have suffered damage and broken, or if you're routing additional wiring harnesses for add-on accessories, you can find replacement wire-routing hardware at O'Reilly Auto Parts. We carry wire loom clips, hold-down clamps, fuel injection system clips and retainers, and more to help you prevent wiring damage and restore your car's wiring to factory condition.
