Rear Seat Clips - sheppy1 - 11:th-Feb-2015 Hi Guys, So the cowboy who fitted my seats appears to have not done the back one properly and/or broke the clip while doing it. Basically the back seat isn't clipped into the actual base properly so I can lift it up really easily. From feeling around it feels like one of the metal prongs which is covered with a black plastic clip isn't actually clipping into the base properly...it actually feels like the black plastic clip is broken. Does anyone know where i can get another one of these from? Thanks Rear Seat Clips - Rusty2009 - 11:th-Feb-2015 There should be a black bit which goes into a white bit or other way round, I will get the part number later for you it will be a Vauxhall or autovaux order thou.

Thanks a million Rear Seat Clips - WhelanUK - 11:th-Feb-2015 Could you not take the part of your old seat?

These parts are from my old seat because they didn't come with them :( Rear Seat Clips - tucpal - 11:th-Feb-2015 look at these pictures from the how to see the white plastic cap they need to be pushed onto the black metal clips on the bench first before the lower bench is put back in place and then clip the bench back in to the holes do you have the white clips. Rear Seat Clips - sheppy1 - 11:th-Feb-2015 Ahhhh! No I don't think I do, as I say I can't see it because the bench is down but when I have the seats to the guy it only had one black clip over a metal prong. I assumed he would take what he needed from the other seats but apparently he didn't. I never saw those white clips anyway, just black ones which fit loosely over the metal u shape prong as I say. Looks like I'm missing that white plug.. Rear Seat Clips - tucpal - 11:th-Feb-2015 sounds like they broke the white plastic caps getting them out so you are just left with the inside metal part when you take the lower bench out they tend to stay in the holes then they need to be removed from the holes and put back on the clips on the seat before they go back in the holes check the old seat and see if they are there if not sure there not very expensive to replace Rear Seat Clips - Rusty2009 - 11:th-Feb-2015 I looked awhile ago as I need to replace mine as I broke them iirc they are £10-15 each. Rear Seat Clips - sheppy1 - 11:th-Feb-2015 Damn!!! Thought they would be about 3 quid each :-/ ha Rear Seat Clips - Rusty2009 - 11:th-Feb-2015 You own a Vauxhall not a ford mate, Rear Seat Clips - sheppy1 - 11:th-Feb-2015 Rusty2009 Wrote:You own a Vauxhall not a ford mate, Good point, well made! Haha. Still trying to decide if that's a good or bad thing too! Rear Seat Clips - sheppy1 - 11:th-Feb-2015 tucpal Wrote:sounds like they broke the white plastic caps getting them out Will try and lift the bench out when i get a minute to see if its stuck in the hole or not...think ill have to buy this part once rusty gets back to me with it anyway Rear Seat Clips - tucpal - 11:th-Feb-2015 its worth a look as the old ones may well be there if so you need to push both sides of the clip and pull up to get them out off the hole Rear Seat Clips - Rusty2009 - 11:th-Feb-2015 I'll get the part numbers in the morning mate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Rear Seat Clips - sheppy1 - 11:th-Feb-2015 Rusty2009 Wrote:I'll get the part numbers in the morning mate thanks mate Rear Seat Clips - Rusty2009 - 12:th-Feb-2015 Right the part number is as follows 24437789 BRACKET, RETAINER, CUSHION PAD (PRODUCTION NO. 12823465) Autovaux are £9.71 each plus P&P http://www.autovaux.co.uk/product/24437789-bracket.aspx Rear Seat Clips - sheppy1 - 12:th-Feb-2015 Rusty2009 Wrote:Right the part number is as follows Thanks mate! Not sure if that's the part I'll need now...I reached under the cushion and into the hole in the actual car frame and I was able to pinch a piece of plastic (assuming this is the white one stuck in the hole) if this is still there then it must he the black clip that's broken otherwise it would all just clip in when I push down in it wouldn't it? Rear Seat Clips - Rusty2009 - 12:th-Feb-2015 You need both parts and both must be on the metal U clip before you fix the seat back down, the above part number has the white and black part. Rear Seat Clips - sheppy1 - 12:th-Feb-2015 Ahhh that's fine then Edit: awesome! My local vx dealership has this part all in for £11 Rear Seat Clips - tucpal - 12:th-Feb-2015 you are going to have to push real hard to get the new ones back on the metal hooks then when they are on the hooks then fit the rear seat and push the seat down above were the caps are so they go in the hole Rear Seat Clips - sheppy1 - 12:th-Feb-2015 Hmmm didn't realise the black thing clipped onto the u shaped metal prong so tightly...they were literally falling off just from slight movement when I was getting them to the garage...any idea why they even made it so you had to put the black bit over the prong AND THEN pop the whole lot into the white clip and not just sack the idea of the black bit off? Rear Seat Clips - sheppy1 - 14:th-Feb-2015 Got the clip today and the back bit is already tightly stuck inside the white bit...can I just slot the whole thing onto the metal prongs or do I have to remove the black bit and fit that first...? [ATTACH]355[/ATTACH] Nvm, all sorted now [ATTACH]356[/ATTACH] Rear Seat Clips - tucpal - 14:th-Feb-2015 yer they just push on to the hooks on the seat as they are with the black bit still inside the white bit then just bang the seat down and it will fix in place glad you got it sorted out :cool :cool Rear Seat Clips - sheppy1 - 14:th-Feb-2015 tucpal Wrote:yer they just push on to the hooks on the seat as they are with the black bit still inside the white bit Yeah that's just what I did Rear Seat Clips - tucpal - 14:th-Feb-2015 cool sounds good it is common to brake them clips when removing the seat but glad you got it sorted out Rear Seat Clips - sheppy1 - 14:th-Feb-2015 Yeah probably the garage that broke it! But all sorted now and cleaned the interior too with the leather cleaner |
